The artwork titled “Electrolux” is the creation of artist Edith Vonnegut. It belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is categorized as a symbolic painting.
The artwork features a semi-nude woman, partially draped in a white cloth, operating an Electrolux vacuum cleaner. The woman’s posture and flowing hair evoke classical depictions of mythological figures, juxtaposed with the modern element of the vacuum cleaner. She stands atop a checkered floor with a distinctive floral rug beneath her feet. The background is a dark sky with a few scattered birds, adding to the surreal and symbolic nature of the piece. The piece blends elements of the mundane with the fantastical, creating a compelling visual narrative.
