May Wilson's 1965 "Ridiculous Portrait (Seashore)" is an intriguing piece of collage art featuring a woman's figure pasted onto a seascape background. The woman's head is a close-up of a different image, creating a humorous and jarring effect. This playful juxtaposition of imagery challenges traditional portraiture, highlighting the artist's interest in exploring the possibilities of visual manipulation and the absurdity of representation. The use of collage and the unexpected combination of imagery make "Ridiculous Portrait (Seashore)" a visually compelling work of art.
