Description |
Abstract Portrait of the artist and his mother in a simple, but expressive portrayal. Few details are shown as the figures are composed of flat areas of color, but the large hollow eyes and starkness add meaning and show the emotion the artist had for his mother and their life as refugees from Armenia and the harsh circumstances of his childhood. |
