Robert Heinecken

Lingerie for a Feminist Suntan #3
1973

A vertical mixed media artwork featuring a fragmented depiction of a human figure. The top portion shows a wire hanger with a piece of clothing hanging against a white background. Below, a photographic image of a torso with bare breasts is superimposed on the canvas. The midsection is interrupted by a crumpled piece of fabric or paper, and the lower section shows a silhouette of legs and feet, with the right leg shaded in gray. The piece has a collage-like, surreal quality.
