Peter Doig

Gasthof, 2003, (some printmaking method...)

This is one of the first Peter Doig images that I came across in an issue of Parkett. When I tried to search it out later, I discover he has done several versions of this image with different mediums. I like this one the best still. The lines are crisper, which I think is important in this composition. What I like about this image is the Sgt. Pepper-ish costumes and the fact that the man on the left has no legs... curious. And who needs a background? Sometimes I think backgrounds are overrated.
