The artwork, titled “Self-Portrait in Scarf Drinking Tea,” was created by the artist Joan Brown in 1972. This piece is associated with the Feminist Art and Pop Art movements and falls under the genre of self-portrait.
The artwork depicts a close-up of a person wearing a yellow scarf, portrayed in a stylized manner. The subject is shown holding and drinking from a white cup marked with subtle patterns. The figure’s gaze is directed towards the viewer, creating an engaging and intimate encounter. The background is painted in shades of pink, providing a stark contrast to the bolder colors of the scarf and the minimalistic depiction of the face and hand. The use of bold lines and simplified forms is characteristic of the Pop Art movement, while the personal and introspective nature of the piece highlights its connection to Feminist Art.
