Title
Simon Bacamarte
Description
Composition in black and white. Straight lines, curves and shaded suggested by the tangle of lines. Man sitting with his hands over his face, taking up almost the entire area of the composition. The figure is sitting on what appears to be a doorway with your legs bent and elbows on his knees, holding his face with both hands. The head and hands are large and out of proportion to the legs and feet. The face is round, short hair, frowning, eyebrows represented by scribble, with big eyes still and look away, flattened nose, his mouth open and wrinkles on faces. Behind the figure, a rectangle suggests that the doorway.
