About this work

This print shows four close-up faces of men in navy uniforms. The hats have white caps and dark brims. Their expressions are serious, some looking straight ahead, others slightly off to the side. The lines are rough and grainy, like a sketch left unfinished. The artist used a simple black-and-white style, making the faces stand out against a plain background. It looks like a quick capture of a moment, not a polished portrait. Check out Richard Artschwager for more of his bold, everyday-style art.
