Le Yack - The Long Goodbye - Hand-signed

Palm Springs, full sun, azure sky with not a shade of it. In front of a modernist pavilion with impeccably horizontal lines, a white convertible Cadillac Eldorado unfolds its chrome fins like a metal fish. Resting against the front wing, a redhead with a strict bun, black blouse and short shorts, endless legs and gold heels, arms crossed: she looks to the left, outside the frame, in a posture of waiting or refusal. Semiotically, the black of the garment breaks into a setting entirely composed of chalky whites, mineral blues, and mountain browns: she is the anomaly, the punctuation. The palms and the Sierra close the horizon; the short shadow marks noon. Smooth, almost photorealistic facture, in the vein of West Coast American realism.
