About this work

This drawing shows a grid of faces from artists and thinkers mixed together. One face is Jack Kerouac. Another is James Ensor. The lines are sharp and scratchy. The artist made this with a phone app that mixes art like a slot machine. You press a button and random pairings pop up. Sometimes you get a poet with a painter. Try the Museum of Ethnography site next.
