The artwork, titled “Recall,” was created by Lorna Simpson in 1998. It falls under the feminist art and conceptual art movements and is categorized within the genre of photography.
This evocative piece presents a black and white photograph of a woman in a contemplative pose, holding a cup and seemingly lost in thought. The setting appears to be an intimate, dimly lit room with visible background elements, such as a brick wall and window blinds, enhancing the sense of introspection. In the lower portion of the artwork, the phrase “Suggesting/listing methods of recall.” is inscribed, hinting at an exploration of memory and introspection. The composition captures a moment of stillness, inviting the viewer to engage with the narrative suggested by the woman’s expression and surroundings.
