Sunnies

This Ana Inciardi mini print depicts a pair of cat-eye sunglasses rendered entirely in shades of red and pink against a pale gray background. The frames are bold and angular, with that characteristic upswept corner shape associated with vintage eyewear silhouettes from mid-century fashion. A light pink wash fills the lenses, and the red crayon or colored pencil strokes give the frames a slightly textured, hand-worked quality. One temple arm extends toward the upper left while the other curves off to the right, giving the composition a relaxed, three-quarter perspective. The word "Sunnies" appears in handwritten text at the lower left, a casual nickname for sunglasses that suits the print's breezy, personal feeling. Cat-eye frames became fashionable in the 1950s and have cycled back into mainstream style several times since. The shape is closely associated with a particular retro femininity that has never fully left fashion consciousness. Collectors are drawn to this print for its confident color commitment, the entire image existing in a single warm family without relying on contrast for definition. It fits naturally within Inciardi's broader print series of everyday objects rendered with intimacy and directness, where familiar things from daily life are treated with genuine attention. The loose, gestural linework here is consistent with her approach across many subjects, giving even a simple object a sense of personality. This print groups well alongside her other object-focused subjects, particularly any pieces centered on personal accessories or fashion items, and collectors who favor that corner of her catalog tend to place it in conversation with her wardrobe and lifestyle themed works.
