##Subway (1950)
#GeorgeTooker (1920-2011) schildert geen realistische metro, maar een psychologische ruimte. De gangen, nissen en herhalende patronen zijn metaforen voor vervreemding, angst en de eenzaamheid van het moderne stadsleven. De personages lijken gevangen in een wereld die hen niet ziet.

The Red Carpet, (1953)
George Tooker’s self-portrait strays away from the artist’s typical surrealism and leans into a realism expressing the hopes and anxieties that settle right beneath the surface of gentle eyes and a small grin. #GeorgeTooker #SocialRealism #PortraitSeries
