Untitled (Back of Head on Orange Field) is from a series of “portraits” (both painted and printed) of anonymous subjects seen from the back rather than the front, standing, sitting, or in bust format. In these rear-view “anti-portraits” that draw on the bright palette of advertising and the conventions of pop art, Huerta rejects facial features in order to question the nature of portraiture, allowing the viewer an unexpected and ironic discretion of interpretation.
This limited-edition print was commissioned by LACMA's Prints and Drawings Council of LACMA.
