The artwork, entitled “Paris Review,” was created by Marisol Escobar in 1967. It is associated with the Neo-Dada art movement and falls under the genre of figurative art.
The artwork presents a simplified, almost abstracted depiction: a white silhouette of a face in profile against a solid green background. This face appears to be tilting back as though drinking from an inverted bottle. The bottle, prominently featuring the words “Paris Review” on its side, exhibits several disembodied hands grasping its neck. The stark contrast between the green background, the white of the face, and the dark colors of the bottle and hands creates a striking visual contrast. The piece is characterized by its bold, graphic style and thought-provoking imagery, inviting viewers to ponder its deeper meaning.
