The artwork, titled “Nude (Sunburned Backside)” by Ralph Goings, was created in 1965 and belongs to the Pop Art movement. This piece falls under the genre of nude painting (nu) and presents a vivid and striking depiction.
The artwork illustrates a section of the human body, specifically the posterior, which displays noticeable sunburn. The coloration is a bold contrast with bright and intense hues of red and pink against a stark yet minimal background. The clear demarcation of tanned and sunburnt skin stands out prominently, emphasizing the realistic yet stylized approach typical of Pop Art. The backdrop, predominantly yellow, accentuates the focus on the flesh tones and the effect of sunlight on the skin.
