Em "Parts of the Face: French Vocabulary Lesson, 1961", um rosto pintado de forma imprecisa tem anotações em letras reproduzidas por meio de escantilhão, como se tratasse de uma aula de vocabulário francês. A obra situa-se algures entre um retrato e uma ilustração educativa e objectiva. As pinceladas expontâneas são típicas do estilo de pintura expressionista abstracto e revelam a influência de De Kooning. No entanto, nesta combinação de imagens e clichés visuais da sociedade consumista, que se assemelha a uma colagem, Rivers demonstra a sua individualiadade e a sua associação à Arte Pop. Abandonando a sua prática anterior como um artista abstracto em prol da figuração, Rivers está mais interessado em manipular a relação entre a imagem e o processo do que no verdadeiro conteúdo da sua obra. Além de ser um saxofonista profissional, Rivers também fez vídeos e esculturas, escreveu poesia, trabalhou como cenografista e artista gráfico e viajou por todo o mundo. A sua obra eclética que não se adequa a nenhuma escola, reflete esta diversidade.

Larry Rivers (1923-2002) - This American artist was born in New York City, in 1923, as Yitzroch Loisa Grossberg. He began his artistic career as a jazz saxophonist and changed his name to Larry Rivers. He turned to visual art in the 1940s. Responding to the Abstract Expressionists, Rivers explored figurative work as evidenced in a series of nude studies from 1954. He was an excellent draftsman inclined towards the culturally provocative. He was one of the first artists to include popular images in his paintings placing him at the forefront of the Pop Art movement. At the height of his career, the 1960s, he continued to paint the figure, often including elements of stenciled lettering and photography. His artistic contributions are marked by clever irony with subject matter ranging from the erotic to social concerns, and is not confined to fine art alone. Rivers is also recognized as a stage set designer, musician, documentary filmmaker and University of California at Santa Barbara professor. The artist died in 2002.
