This is a photo remake of KEES VAN DONGEN's famous painting. The bright colours, and the big black eyes are characteristic of his work. Artist KEES VAN DONGEN painted Le Coquelicot ( red hat) in 1906 and is now in private possession. I took this photo following an invitation to participate in an exhibition. My interest was immediately piqued and it was very inspiring to start making more reconstructions of KEES VAN DONGEN's work. A series has since emerged featuring his work, including "La dame au Chien" Les deux yeux and a portrait of Brigitte.
The styling in this picture (my mother's old fur coat), make-up and editing were done by me.
