John Baldesarri is a renown conceptual artist. I believe that this is called Fissures and ribbons. Much of Baldessari's work involves pointing, in which he tells the viewer not only what to look at but how to make selections and comparisons, often simply for the sake of doing so. This is exactly what he is doing in this picture. He adds to images to paintings, I presume to emphasize what he wants you to be looking at. Or maybe he just wants you to block those people out, so he changes the color of their faces. It is very intriguing to look at it, just because the colors pop out at you.
