Marilyn Minter's *Streak* is a large-scale chromogenic print that captures an intensely close, hyper-realistic view of a face partially obscured by a smeared, rain-streaked surface. The image blurs the boundary between glamour and grit, with streaks of water and makeup dissolving into one another in rich, luminous color. Minter's signature aesthetic confronts conventional notions of beauty by transforming the flawed and transient into something undeniably seductive.
