TWO OF DIAMONDS

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 Two of Diamonds features two people with their sides to the camera, holding hands and facing each other. They are painted in matching day/night designs, with large blades of grass covering the lower half of both their bodies and arms. The figure on the left is painted to look like the day, with sky-blue paint and a golden sun on the right side of their face. The figure on the right is painted in a dark blue-purple night sky, with a crescent moon on the left half of their face.

"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.
