About this work

This image shows a huge black square filling most of the frame, with a small photo of a person’s face in the bottom right corner. The face looks serious, and the person is wearing a dark sweater. The black square is smooth and deep, almost like a void. The tiny photo seems out of place next to the big black area—it’s like the artist stuck a regular snapshot into a painting. The contrast between the two makes you notice the face more than you’d expect. If you’re curious about how this was made, look up lithography.
