Among Polke's most acclaimed paintings is Bunnies, a piece that uses the ‘dot’ technique popularised by Pop Artists such as Lichtenstein; succinctly showcasing Polke’s wry sense of irony, this painting on first appearances seems to depict an attractive group of women dressed provocatively in the style of Playboy bunnies, but upon closer inspection the faces of the women are grotesquely distorted by a set of coloured circles.

What is pop-art?

Refers to an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged fine arts tradition by including popular culture imagery such as news and advertising. Pop art sometimes isolates and removes a material from its context and combines it with another unrelated material. This concept refers much to the attitudes that resulted in it and not on the art itself. Pop art employs comic books, advertising and other mass culture aspects. It is interpreted to have come as a reaction to abstract expressionism dominant ideas.
