You see a black-and-white print of a man’s face, eyes closed, mouth slightly open like he’s singing or dreaming. This is one sheet from a whole set Wilson made for a stage version of *Parsifal*, an old opera. The lines are soft, almost smudged, so the face feels alive but not sharp—more like a memory than a photo. If you like how this print looks, try searching for the technique: lithography.
