Audrey Flack uses the still-life genre to celebrate sensual pleasures central to the female experience. Her 1970s hyper-realist representations of dressing-table tops cluttered with make-up embody a feminist embrace of the "art" of make-up. This print, with its eye-catching palette, also invokes the pleasures of taste. Recently Flack presents over-life sized sculptures of classical goddesses, given new life by modern feminism.

- 20th Century

- American - Refers to the context of or associated specifically with the modern political entity of the United States of America.
- collotype (process) - A type of photolithography in which the printing plate is prepared using a bichromate process. Unhardened gelatin areas hold water and thus resist greasy ink; hardened areas accept ink and hold it in the characteristic wormlike pattern of cracks.
- collotypes (prints) - Photomechanical prints produced by the process called collotype.
- Contemporary - Refers to painting, sculpture, graphic arts, and architecture dating from the recent past and present. It differs from modern art in that the term 'contemporary art' does not carry the implication of a non-traditional style, but instead refers only to the time period in which the work was created. 'Modern' and 'contemporary' are inherently fluid terms. The term 'contemporary' is sometimes more narrowly used to refer to art from ca. 1960 or 1970 up to the present.
- embossing - Producing raised letters or designs on a surface, typically by means of stamping or molding.
- paper (fiber product) - Refers generally to all types of matted or felted sheets or webs of fiber formed and dried on a fine screen from a pulpy water suspension. The fibers may be animal, such as hair, silk or wool, or mineral, such as asbestos, or synthetic. However most paper is made from cellulosic plant fiber, such as from wood pulp, grass, cotton, linen, and straw.
- prints (visual works) - Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use just "prints." With regard to photographs, see "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."
