man plus two at the brothel

Man Plus Two at the Brothel, an homage to Lillie Bliss's initial iconic 1929 donation to MoMA, 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' by Pablo Picasso.

Both works utilize Cubist forms to convey a powerful message about the insatiable human pursuit of pleasure. In 'Man Plus Two at the Brothel,' I chose to explore the complexities of desire and decadence through fragmented and abstract depictions of human figures, mirroring Picasso's bold experimentation in 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.'

This juxtaposition of the two artworks highlights the timeless theme of human hedonism, inviting viewers to contemplate the enduring allure and consequences of our constant search for pleasure.
