Here’s a fresh try: This is a portrait of French singer Catherine Sauvage made in 1968. The artist, Jaume Estapà, used only the letters M, O, and * to build it. The work is an early example of ASCII art. Estapà layered symbols to create light and dark areas, even though early printers couldn’t show images. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
