Le Yack - Le Dernier Client de Bagdad Café - Hand signed

Le Yack - Le Dernier Client de Bagdad Café - Hand signed

A service station on the edge of a deserted road, at the moment the sky shifts from pink to purple. Two red globe-lit pumps, a dog sitting on the concrete, a shelf of oil cans. A petrol attendant in a white uniform, cap over the eyes, fills the tank of a pale pink sedan with chromed fins. Against the wall, the driver — turquoise scarf, white sunglasses, turquoise trousers — drinks a bottle soda while waiting. In the lit shop, the owner weighs his takings. It's the hour when you wonder where you’ll sleep. Yack takes over Hopper’s service station and fills it with people, a dog, an elegant woman, and a postcard-perfect sunset — without detracting from the melancholy of the place. The pink of the car and the pink of the sky echo each other; the turquoise of the woman is the accent that brings everything to life. A fine line and melt into the skies, sharper on the chrome and the pumps; the pump globe sits in a blob of white, ringed in red. The road runs toward a vanishing point low, under the telegraph poles.
