The artwork titled “Bad Habits Facing West” is a 2000 creation by artist Lisa Yuskavage, recognized for its alignment with the Fantasy Art and Kitsch movements. It falls under the figurative and nude painting (nu) genres, showcasing Yuskavage’s distinct style and thematic approach.
In the artwork, three silhouetted figures stand in a dimly lit space, their forms marked by soft, shadowy outlines against a muted, monochromatic background. The figures appear to face towards the light source, creating a stark contrast between their darkened shapes and the slightly illuminated environment. The setting and composition evoke a haunting and contemplative atmosphere, characteristic of the Fantasy Art movement’s exploration of the surreal and the enigmatic.
