Jack Whitten

This work is called Untitled by Jack Whitten made in 1964. Jack is known for his experimentation with different painting materials such as eggshells, copper and styrofoam. He is known for  creating unique textures and cultural references. This work is pastel on paper and i found it interesting because at first glance you can see these two figures staring at you immediately. I think it is intriguing that the black and orange outline is what really details the faces. He also has another artwork called untitled which follows the same idea with the faces but he used brighter colors.
