Description
This supermodel fashion poster catches a seated figure in a masquerade mask and a slip dress applying lipstick, which means the two things the picture is about, the face and the mouth, are the two things half-covered.
A mask in a photograph does something a face cannot: it makes a viewer look for longer, because the usual shortcut of reading an expression has been removed. Everything that would normally be secondary, the hand, the posture, the fall of the fabric, becomes the only information available.
Why this supermodel fashion poster hides the face
It is a portrait that is not of anybody, which is a rare and useful thing on a wall. It hangs in a bedroom, a dressing area or a hallway without the awkwardness of a stranger looking out of the frame, and it works particularly well beside a mirror, which is roughly what the picture is about.
The oldest device in portraiture
Masks have been used to license behaviour and to remove identity at gatherings for centuries, and the visual grammar a modern fashion image borrows from them is largely unchanged. The tradition is described at Wikipedia. The subject of this photograph is not identified.
