About this work

This image shows two odd, exaggerated heads pressed close together. Their faces are lumpy and uneven, with big noses and wide, surprised eyes. The skin looks like it’s made of soft clay, and one head is pale while the other is yellowish. They’re wearing simple collars, almost like old-fashioned shirts. The artist made these heads look almost like masks or puppets. The way they’re touching gives them a strange, intimate feel—like they’re sharing a secret or stuck together. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how the artist printed these images.
