Bayonne 1985

"Bayonne" (1985) by Eric Fischl is a striking diptych depicting two figures in a domestic setting. The left panel portrays a nude woman seated in a chair against a deep blue background, while the right panel shows a ballerina in a white tutu standing by a bed. Fischl's signature style of photorealism is evident in the detailed rendering of the figures and their surroundings, highlighting a sense of unease and tension. The juxtaposition of the two women creates a sense of contrast and mystery, inviting viewers to interpret the relationship between them and their individual narratives.
