Three-Quarters View, Peter Passuntino Painterly Oil on Paper Portrait of a Man, 1960s native craft I really love the sensibilities

I really love the sensibilities this piece brings together: one part Brutalist

and the tension between them

5 5/8" x 3 5/8" and in great antique condition

perhaps from oil spilled while baking

I'd like to think Glendening painted this himself to relieve some of the stress of the day

Three-Quarters View, Peter Passuntino Painterly Oil on Paper Portrait of a Man, 1960s native craft I really love the sensibilitiesA couple more works on paper today by Peter Passuntino (b. Chicago, 1936), dating to the 1960s this and a second portrait, which I think may both be self portraits but I'm not entirely sure. (Lots out there about Passuntino, including photos.) I find them both very full of life, and tender too, and this one beautifully, skillfully painted, and better in person. 10" x 10 1 2". Oil, ink, watercolor on heavy paper. Very good condition.
