About the Item

"500 Calories al mode" The Perfect Meal - Menu - Dessert - Collograph Watercolor The artwork "500 Calories al mode" by Betty Swift, created one of a group show at San Francisco State University Fall 1983, is a Collograph (Colotype) and watercolor print that combines elements of realism, featuring a slice of pie topped with a generous scoop of ice cream, presented in a style that suggests a rich, indulgent dessert. The background is a deep, warm red, highlighting the golden-brown tones of the pie and the creamy white of the ice cream. The composition, signed "Michael Parker" and numbered "8/15," showcases a traditional approach to still life, emphasizing texture and form through its intricate lines and subtle coloring. The overall composition is striking, combining realistic elements with an abstract, almost pop-art aesthetic. The use of color and contrast creates a visually engaging artwork.
