Marilyn Minter

Bluer Tears

Marilyn Minter's *Bluer Tears* is a chromogenic print that exemplifies her signature style of hyper-realistic, seductive imagery rendered in lush, saturated color. The work captures an extreme close-up of a face with tears streaming down skin, blurring the line between beauty and raw emotion with a glossy, painterly intensity. Printed on photo paper with full margins, the piece reflects Minter's ongoing exploration of glamour, desire, and the complex relationship between beauty culture and vulnerability.
