// Burton Morris’s Museum Interior – Venus (2010) is a vibrant acrylic on canvas painting, characteristic of his bold, pop-art style. The work portrays an interior museum scene, where a classical sculpture of the Venus de Milo is juxtaposed with a modern-day framed image of a figure taking a photograph. The colorful, graphic design, with strong outlines and flat planes of color, evokes a playful interaction between classical art and contemporary culture. The Venus sculpture, depicted in grayscale, contrasts sharply with the bright and animated framed figure in the background, underscoring the clash between timeless beauty and modern-day media obsession. Morris's playful approach invites reflection on the way we engage with and interpret art across different eras.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
