Illustration Star Wilson McLean executes a 1970s male fashion assignment
that is situated at the intersection of realism and abstraction. Four
male models are depicted with a tight vertical cropping and are
uniformly spaced on a grid-like composition. The artist crops most of
the subject's face to emphasize the "Groovy" shirts and ties. Look
closely at each close-up of the shirt and tie in itself; they are mini
abstract masterpieces with an ultra-high level of detail in their
execution. Pulling from recent art history, Wilson McLean's work may
indirectly pay homage to the late Italian artist Domenico
Gnoli—initialed lower left. This artwork appeared on pages 126-127 of
the February 1973 issue of Playboy Magazine, illustrating the fashion
article by Robert L. Green titled "Team Spirit," with the caption "In
the shirt game, ties count."
Framed in the original metal frame to a frame size of 28.88 x 21 x 1.25
Color will vary depending on how the art is displayed and under what lighting conditions.
