Camera Obscura Image of Windows in Gallery with Two Paintings, Whitney Museum of American Art [Edward Hopper, Woman in the Sun, 1961 and Roy Lichtenstein, Girl in Window (Study for World’s Fair Mural) © Estate of Roy Lichtenstein, 1963]
2003

A black and white photograph capturing the exterior of a brick building with two framed images visible through the windows. On the left, a framed photo shows a woman standing in a dimly lit room, while on the right, a stylized drawing of a woman with exaggerated features and hair is displayed. The contrast between the realistic and artistic representations creates a striking visual narrative.
