Description from the seller
Julian Opie
“Ruth with cigarette 3”, 2005
Limited print from Julian Opie from the series “Twenty Six Portraits”, published by Alan Cristea Gallery.
The work shows one of the characteristic Ruth representations by Julian Opie: a reduced female figure with cigarette in front of a strong yellow background. The clear lines, the flat color, and the highly simplified figural language are typical for Opie’s well-known portrait aesthetics.
