This piece of artwork is called Postmodern Alice. Alice is definitely the royal young lady in the staircases because of her dress and elegant posture. The heart bubbles, and a floating clock is ticking every minute make this artwork a fantasy place. But, the young man's clothing at the bottom of the picture is modern -like outfit, rather than a suit like a prince. The tie is not properly tied, and the coat is not button-up where a prince would dress all formal. So, the appearance of the two people on the staircases, both describes the used of appropriation. The artists used appropriation because he or she changed the prince and princess figurative image that I had pictured in story books. Another postmodern visual strategy is layering because the background consists of the drawn window with prints on it, and the wall of symbolic meanings to it. A So, the layering of the background created a postmodern artwork.
