What an astonishing pick up! Love the Coles Phillips fade-away style technique. When was this produced (asking if its a modern or vintage piece). Huge Congrats!!

Thanks - I was pleasantly surprised to find it was available. It's not brand new, I don't know the exact date but im
guessing 3-4 years ago.

Awesome piece, love the use of negative space for her hair (had to look up the Coles Phillips fade away style). Congrats!

Beautiful. I like all the elements Pisano left off the painting--That really makes you focus on the elements he DID include. Great pick-up!

Yes, a really interesting use of the technique. For comic fans, Miller's Sin City is probably our main reference. But Frank always used his negative space to FORM his subjects. Here, the subject is obviously the woman, and (as Bill stated) the negative space is used to highlight her. A note about Phillips, his works usually involved blending the background color of his images with the clothing of his subjects, thereby "neutralizing" that portion of his figures. It's still technically negative space, but certainly different than what Miller did (and what Pisano illustrates here).

I have a book of Cole's Phillips' art. Aless I would say takes a 21st century take on it - she does call these Fadeaway pieces. I have a couple of them and this one needs framing once the non-essential shops are allowed to open. I'd say it's very different from Frank's style.

Exactly! It's a different use of the technique from both Miller AND Phillips. Miller uses the space to define the subject. And Phillips used the space to "camouflage" the subject (think Nightcrawler in the shadows). Pisano does neither in this piece. The space is used to highlight and draw focus to her subject.
