The artwork titled “Girlfriends I” was created by artist Sigmar Polke in 1967. It belongs to the New European Painting art movement and is categorized under the genre of figurative art.
The artwork portrays two female figures dressed in swimwear, depicted in a monochromatic color scheme. The composition is rendered using a dot matrix technique, reminiscent of low-resolution photographs or printed media, conveying a sense of visual texture and layering. The figures appear relaxed and engaged, set against an indistinct backdrop that suggests an outdoor setting, potentially a beach or poolside environment. This stylistic approach by Polke exemplifies his innovative manipulation of media and exploration of popular culture imagery during that era.
