Meaning & Analysis

Tourist With Ponytail plays into Opie’s idea surrounding the sitter refusing to have their portrait made, as this woman is seemingly looking away from the viewer’s gaze. Indeed, this conjures up the feeling of wandering through a busy street where passers-by avoid the gazes of one another. Despite the way in which Opie has abstracted and simplified the original photograph, Tourist With Ponytail conveys a sense of realism in the viewer’s pose.

Showing the sitter to avoid the viewer’s gaze creates a melancholic drama in the portrait that is different from a portrait where the sitter’s face is visible. The line used to outline the woman’s face is so thick that Opie barely manages to distinguish her ear, thus solving the problem of dealing with facial features. This element of melancholic anonymity also allows the viewer to project their own experiences onto the image in how they relate to this person and recognise this as a familiar image.
