Untitled (Girl with piece of meat) c. 1970s

This small square photograph, from an unknown date and by an anonymous artist, captures a fleeting moment. The limited colour palette, dominated by red, brown and a muted green, feels immediate and raw, like a snapshot from a family album. Look at the way the light catches the sheen of the meat. Is she screaming in delight or terror? That turkey leg is huge against the child’s small frame, practically vibrating with energy. It’s the kind of gesture you might see in a Philip Guston painting: a cartoonish and slightly menacing celebration of excess. This photograph reminds us that art doesn't always have to be serious or polished. Sometimes, it's the imperfect, awkward moments that reveal the most about who we are. The piece feels like an ongoing conversation about process, representation, and the emotional resonance of everyday life.
