About this artwork

He especially is intrigued by the simplicity of the faces which still can convey emotion juxtaposed the complexity of their costuming. In order toads a bit of more interest to the face he has applied gold leaf composite around the eyes. There is no question that his early work as an editorial fashion photographer in the early 1950's…
for magazines such as Glamour and GQ is reflected in his work as a painter 70 years later.
