Pick Me Up at The Parker 2018

Carrie Graber’s 2018 painting, *Pick Me Up at The Parker*, depicts a stylized scene of a woman, possibly a celebrity, walking toward a vintage pink Cadillac and a man holding the door open for her. This photorealistic painting captures the glamour of mid-century modern architecture, the stylish fashion of the era, and the luxury of a vintage Cadillac. Graber uses a bright, colorful palette and meticulous detail to create a visually striking and nostalgic image. The artwork is likely a commentary on the culture of celebrity and materialism in the mid-20th century, while also celebrating the style and design of the time.
