Lipstick
...a timeless gesture
The simple, universal gesture of a woman applying lipstick first caught Siskind’s imagination as she watched a dignified elderly woman in North Carolina repair her makeup after Sunday dinner. Recently, a friend urged Siskind to look at a photograph of her Aunt Della having her lipstick applied by a loving niece; these combined experiences inspired the Lipstick series. Friends and acquaintances modeled for the Lipstick paintings and the artist is grateful for their generosity of spirit.
