The women that I show in these paintings are instead carefully groomed; they do not look like untameable virgins; actually, at first glance, they appear to be reassuring, refined ladies.

In this series, I used films dating from 1929 to 1960, mostly black-and-white, about private detectives, called, in jargon, “hardboiled detectives”.
