In the early 80s, Sloane began depicting postcards of her favorite paintings that she had collected from museums she had visited. She used the postcards to develop symbolic compositions in homage to her favorite artists. The title of this work, also used by Salvador Dali for one of his lithographs, refers to Lucas Cranach the Elder, who was a German Renaissance painter and printmaker known for his portraits and religious subjects. Sloane's trompe l’oeil "Homage" features two portraits (Moritz Büchner in the back and possibly Helena Snakenborg in the front), as well as a paper bag, and a receipt for the colored pencils in the work. Sloane frequently planted surprises in her still-lifes; for example, you’ll see a self-portrait doubling as a coaster on a table, an envelope addressed to herself, or her own reflection in a glass. The patterning in the background is quintessential to Sloane's technique, who used rich patterns of fabrics, wallpaper, and pillows in vibrant colors to lead the eye or stop it. A gifted colorist, she once stated that her work had everything to do with shapes and composition, and that she was constantly adjusting the objects she was depicting until they created a sense of unity. Her work was very intentional in how it was arranged, causing one to ponder the meaning behind it.
