KING OF CLUBS


PLEASE NOTE: The item for sale is a 42 x 30 print backed on foam core WITHOUT the playing card number in the corners.

 

The King of Clubs features a near full-body portrait of an individual painted over entirely with a natural landscape. Their upper body is painted over with a blue, sunny sky, birds flying overhead. The lower half of their torso is a green hill with a red-brick tunnel, out from which comes a dark road painted over their legs. Large white-brown flowers line the road.

"The Deck of Cards was conceived by Assouline, who were inspired by MAC Cosmetics' irreverent imaging and makeup artistry. Working with the MAC Creative Team, the idea grew as some of the world's most renowned designers, musicians and artists created unique body designs that became this provocative deck of playing cards. The response was phenomenal. All of the designs submitted were not only original and creative but reflected the individual personalities of the well-known participants." Released as a deck of standard-size playing cards and later as a book collection of the images, portions of proceeds from sales benefited the MAC Aids Fund.
