Royal Flush

artist: Audrey Flack

year: 1973

This is a photo of a table with many different things on it including beer, pretzels, whiskey, cards, money, and cigars. In my opinion this reminded me of many of the still lifes that we have seen before. I think this picture is the opposite of the other one we saw by her called the queen because everything in that photo had thinks that represented women where this one takes a much different approach of portraying masculine things on a table. Also audrey flack was known for her photo realism and i think this shows a real life table of which could be found in peoples homes. It captures real life in a different way. The name of this is Royal Flush and a royal flush is an unbeatable hand at poker. All five cards are of the same suit so it bringsan interesting aspect to it because the cards are in the front and placed a certain way. You can't help but notice that the game of poker and possibly a symbol of love as indicated by the royal flush of hearts is represented in this picture.
