“McKinniss, who attended the Hartford Art School and spent a great deal of time at the Wadsworth, discusses the inspiration for his portrait of Lorde, which is a companion to the painting that became her album cover: “I wanted the paint handling to recall or mimic a sort of Post-Impressionist style. This is especially evident in the rendering of the duvet. Specifically, I had two prior paintings in mind as inspiration. One was the Wadsworth’s van Gogh self-portrait, the other was Toulouse-Lautrec’s painting “Le Lit” (1893) at Musée D’Orsay. These two pictures served to guide mood, temperature, and the surface texture for the painting in your collection. You might notice the use of pale yellow for Lorde’s flesh and bed linens, similar to hues used on van Gogh’s face, as well as deep, inky blues in both paintings’ backgrounds.”
