About this work

This print is a messy, bold face split into colored blocks. The skin is red and yellow, the shirt is white. Black lines crack through the forehead like lightning. One eye is dark green, the other is a rough red circle. The artist used thick, uneven strokes to build up the colors. It looks like the paint was slapped on, not smoothed out. Check out impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
