Le Yack - The Talented Mr. Ripley - Hand signed

On a clear esplanade overlooking the sea, a woman in a long white skirt and a black backless bustier, wide-brim straw hat with a ribbon and black stiletto heels, stands near a cream Porsche 356 Speedster, red top folded, gleaming chrome. In the background, white cubic volumes, a dark grove, a blue-lined sea. Semiotically, the black/white contrast of the outfit rhymes with the light body of the car and the car's garnet interior: the woman and the automobile form a single object of desire, equally refined, equally motionless under the sun. The cascading black knot at the back introduces a dramatic note to the seaside elegance. The palette resonates with the anchors of the corpus — calcareous white, navy blue, the deep red of the top — in a smooth and luminous finish, on the edge of magical realism.
