Le Yack - The Long Goodbye - Hand-signed

American night behind the diner window. Seated on a burgundy vinyl banquette, a blonde woman with a tall bouffant, black V-neck dress, a row of pearls and nacreous earrings, rests her chin on her folded fingers, her gaze directed to the right, outside the frame. In front of her, on amber Formica, two chrome salt shakers and a napkin dispenser; behind the glass, the chrome rear of a light-colored sedan with round lights, an empty street, a lit streetlamp, and the green storefront window of a shop where two silhouettes pass. Semiotically, the window organizes two nested solitudes — the woman alone in warm light, the city empty in the blue of night — and the vast emptiness of the table speaks of waiting better than a set place. Smooth facture, cinematic tension inherited from Hopper, a palette of burgundy, amber, and deep blue.
