Like other early practitioners of photo-realist painting, John Kacere staked out his own distinctive subject matter and stuck with it. His focus was lingerie-clad women’s bottoms, a choice that not surprisingly, some people loved and others hated. Kacere’s imagery became influential. Sophia Coppola credits it as the inspiration for the long 33-second opening sequence of her film Lost in Translation which shows a close-up of Scarlett Johansson’s lingerie-clad behind.
