Flack’s Photo-realist ‘Vanitas’ paintings from the 1970’s use imagery and symbolism  derived from sixteenth and seventeenth century Dutch painting in which still-life items are chosen and arranged to make the viewer contemplate the "vanities" and fleeting qualities of life leading ultimately to death. Flack often filled her paintings with personal memorabilia, and also related her paintings to her experiences as a woman. She does not just paint beautiful works; she includes ideas on the human condition, love and suffering (see World War II and Marilyn).

Links to webpages and handouts with information about Shane Cotton

 Shane Cotton uses imagery and symbols that he has “borrowed” from other cultures, artworks and times. This is called appropriation and involves taking or borrowing a symbol or image and transferring it from one context to another. For example, Shane Cotton borrows kowhaiwhai patterns and places these in his contemporary paintings. Kowhaiwhai is a traditional Maori art form and it is usually found inside a wharenui (meeting house), which is its original context.
