It's Not About Me - It's About You (2008)Oil painting
by Don Keene
£2,826.02
Original artwork description
This painting depicts two figures, one female and one male, interacting physically and emotionally in a playful but intimate scene. The title recalls the Obama presidential campaign slogan (which was prevalent at the time the painting was made) placing emphasis on the importance of the citizen rather than the politician running for office. In the context of the painting the phrase becomes more basic, that is each half of the lovers duo thinks the feelings of the other are more important than their own.
Influences, among others, include Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Bob Thompson, George McNeil, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Francesco Clemente, R.B. Kitaj and Willem de Kooning.
