Digital color print, 180 semi-gloss paper - Stamped and hand numbered - Series: Hors-série # 121 // Louise Lawler’s Pollyanna (adjusted to fit, distorted for the times, more) (2018) is a striking digital print that manipulates familiar imagery from the art world. The photograph appears intentionally warped, as if stretched or twisted, distorting the perception of the framed artworks hanging in a gallery space. Bold colors and abstract forms swirl in the altered images, creating a sense of visual disorientation. Lawler’s work often critiques the commercialization and contextualization of art, and this distortion emphasizes how art is reshaped to fit into contemporary cultural and market demands. The warped presentation highlights the instability of meaning and the fluid nature of art interpretation in different contexts.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
