Untitled, Blue-green Head

Entry/Object ID

1985.12.07

Description

A bluish-green head, with pink eyes and an open mouth is placed in front of a grey-blue background. The color of the head is placed in contrast with a red and blue boarder and pops of pink, green and yellow around the ears, mouth, and chin. A blue wave-like line bisects the pieces at the jaw level of the head. The artist’s hand is very present in the piece with the large and very present brush strokes, and almost chaotic line work used to render the face. Acrylic or oil; back of work has another painting on it with the words "Moon Dance" written in pencil.
