About this work

This painting shows a strange, rounded face with big, blank eyes and goggles. The skin is smooth and tan, but the body is oddly stretched. One hand is raised like it’s shielding its face, while the other arm rests on a flat surface. The background is a flat blue, like a wall or sky, with a faint line at the bottom that looks like a ledge. The goggles and the way the face is shaped feel a little unsettling. The artist played with proportions to make it look almost like a mask. If you like this weird, dreamy style, check out Victor Brauner.
