“Homemade Pasta,” created by John Currin in 1999, is an oil painting on canvas, exemplifying the Kitsch art movement. The artwork measures 127 by 106.7 centimeters and falls into the genre painting category.
The artwork depicts two individuals engrossed in the process of making homemade pasta. Both figures are shown in a kitchen setting, with one person appearing to handle the pasta machine while the other inspects the freshly made pasta. The background reveals a simple kitchen interior with shelves holding glasses and plates, subtly enhancing the homely, intimate atmosphere. The detailed and somewhat exaggerated expressions of the subjects contribute to the Kitsch aesthetic, imbuing the scene with a sense of nostalgia and familiarity.
