Here are some interesting things about Audrey Flack's work. First, she became known for her Photorealist paintings and was one of the first artists to use photographs as the basis for paintings. The Photorealist genre, taking its cues from Pop art, incorporates depictions of the real and the regular, from advertisements to cars to cosmetics. In this vein, Flack's photography, prints and paintings involve everyday household items like tubes of lipstick, perfume bottles, Hispanic Madonnas and fruit. These inanimate objects often disturb or crowd the pictorial space, which is frequently composed as a table-top still life. Also, she often brought in actual accounts of history into her Photorealist paintings, such as in World War II (“Vanitas”) and Kennedy Motorcade. Women were another regular subject of her Photorealist paintings. Shop a collection of Audrey Flack art on 1stDibs.
