Frame
The frame has a minimalist aesthetic with clean lines and an unobtrusive design. The frame is made of high-quality plastic (PS), which ensures durability while maintaining a lightweight design. The dimensions of the frame include a width of 5 cm and a thickness of 3 cm, which makes it capacious enough to reliably support canvas of various sizes. This frame is perfect for contemporary art styles including abstraction, minimalism and pop art due to its flawless simplicity. Its white color provides a versatile background that can accommodate a wide range of colors, bright hues that benefit from contrasting borders, or black and white elements that need a consistent tonal framework to retain their vibrancy.
One of the founders of Pop art in Britain, Hamilton took his theme for this work directly from popular culture, using pictures from Playboy and other men’s magazines as his sources. While the work references these ubiquitous photographs of sex symbols, it is also a modern treatment of a conventional subject of painting—the odalisque, or reclining nude. Hamilton approaches this tradition through a variety of pictorial modes: the hair is a stylized cartoon, the breasts appear both in drawing and in three-dimensional relief, and the bra is a photograph applied as a collage. "Mixing idioms," Hamilton has said, "is virtually a doctrine in Pin-up."
