The artwork titled “Striped Socks” by Lisa Yuskavage, created in 2014, is a part of the Fantasy Art and Kitsch movements. This figurative painting, which features the nude genre, captures a distinctive and evocative portrayal.
The artwork depicts a rear view of a nude female figure lying on her stomach, with her legs raised in the air. The figure is adorned in brightly colored, horizontally striped socks in various shades of pink, red, and orange. The soft, blurred rendering of the figure complements the subdued and muted background, creating a dreamlike and somewhat ethereal atmosphere. The artist uses delicate brushstrokes and a muted color palette to emphasize the sensual and playful nature of the subject, while the contrasting vibrancy of the socks draws attention and adds a whimsical touch.
