This pencil drawing mixes two faces side by side. On the left is Van Gogh’s swirling beard and hat. On the right sits Stalin’s cold stare and mustache. It’s part of an app game. You tap a button and random portraits spin like slots until they stop together. This pair landed face-to-face by chance. Try the same trick with her cross-hatching. Look up Poulantza, Natassa (1965).
