An offset lithograph reproduction of a black-and-white group portrait in which the maker freezes a moment of casual camaraderie to convey the cool, insistent presence of art‑world figures.
The image hits you with a tightly cropped row of faces—high-contrast lighting sculpts their features, cigarettes and a cloud of smoke punctuate the frame, and the deadpan gazes make the scene feel both intimate and staged.
The print shows how photographic and printmaking practices circulated and mythologized the social life of postwar art scenes, collapsing documentary immediacy with the cultivation of celebrity and style.
