About the artwork
Louise Brooks, a famous American silent film actress of the 1920s, is portrayed against a gray, blue and ochre background. She was particularly known for her naturalistic facial expressions, in contrast to the mannered acting of other actors of the period, which made her face an icon of cinema. Paint effects give the illusion of a mural. The different textures enhance the actress's porcelain complexion and pensive expression.
