"The Identi-Kit Man" (1962) by Derek Boshier is a Pop Art painting depicting a fragmented human figure constructed from jigsaw pieces. The figure is partially obscured by a large, green toothbrush, referencing the consumerist culture of the 1960s. The composition is characterized by bold colors, flat planes and a sense of disjointedness, typical of Boshier's Pop Art style. The work can be interpreted as a commentary on the commodification of the human form in a media-driven society.
