Willie and Liz 2003

"Willie and Liz" (2003) is a painting by American artist Eric Fischl (b. 1948). The work depicts two individuals seated in orange chairs against a muted background, their faces and postures conveying a sense of quiet intimacy. Fischl's signature style, characterized by a blend of realism and a subtle sense of unease, is evident in the painting's composition and the subtle psychological tension between the subjects. The painting, which belongs to the artist's iconic "Bad Boy" series, examines the dynamics of contemporary relationships through a realistic lens.
