There is a palpable tension in the way the paint clings to the canvas in this 1979 study. The composition centers on a distorted human face emerging from a void of deep charcoal, where flashes of cerulean and crimson disrupt the flesh tones to suggest internal turmoil. Rendering the fragility of the human form with textured, heavy brushwork, This print stands as a testament to late-period expressionism.

This work moves beyond simple likeness into the realm of psychological architecture. It reflects a period of isolation and reflection for the artist, where the face becomes a landscape of experience rather than just a physical map. The viewer is invited to confront the raw honesty of aging and the fractured nature of identity, presented through a lens that is both unflinching and deeply empathetic to the human condition.

Collectors working with mid century modern art tend to reach for pieces like this, often alongside abstract art prints.
