Is that a room on your face ?

Some of George Condo's portraits seem to have a strange sort of perspective,

like an assemblage of objects set in different places,

from the foreground to the background. Also, Chuck Close speaks of

a process of constructing, building his portraits

little by little. These observations made me think of Salvador Dali

and, more precisely, his installation and his painting of a face

which looks like a room --or is it a room which looks like a face ?

It's titled "Mae West (Face of Mae West which Can Be Used as an Apartment)":
