About this work

This drawing shows a black-and-white portrait of Ernest Hemingway next to a blurred photo of a painting by Hans Hartung. The two images sit side by side in a slot-machine-like app called "Game of Fortune." When you tap start, the photos spin and stop randomly. The app mixes famous art with famous thinkers. Here it pairs Hemingway with Hartung’s style. You never know what you’ll get—it’s like a quick game of chance. Try it yourself at the Museum of Ethnography.
