Display caption
Here, Rose Wylie’s subject matter is drawn from a range of visual culture. The pin-up on the left is based on the actress Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits 1961. The treatment of her hair echoes the cross-hatching technique in the woodcuts of Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528). The head on the right derives from that of Annabel Chong, drawn from Wylie’s memory of a television documentary about the formerporn star.
