Women’s Wear Daily

Women’s Wear Daily

Six paintings and studies that Deshuk named for Women's Wear Daily, the fashion trade paper. The figures are single people caught mid-gesture - a girl in a vest, a man in a suit, a woman on the phone, a woman standing against a fire alarm - which fits how she worked everywhere else: photograph someone first, paint them later.

A note of caution: I could not find any published account of what connected this group to the paper, so unlike the other categories here this description rests only on the paintings and their titles. If you know the story behind them, it belongs in this space instead.
