Flora Yukhnovich. Le Mercredi - on s’habille en rose, 2017 (private collection).


Oil on linen: 170 x 240 cm. Flora Yukhnovich (2020): “We live in such an image-saturated time which I think has encouraged louder and more ostentatious aesthetics that feel similar to the Rococo sensibility for excess. I also think there is something quite Rococo about our celebrity culture, and the aspirational pleasure we take in watching the glamorous lives of the super-rich on reality TV”.

Gottlieb Schick. Portrait of Heinrike Dannecker (‘Bildnis der Heinrike Dannecker’), 1802 (Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin).



Oil on canvas: 119 x 100 cm. First wife of German sculptor Johann Heinrich Dannecker. This allusion to the French ‘tricolor’ seems to suggest sympathy for the French revolutionary ideals.
