Peter Passuntino 1960s Tempera on Paper Painting of Black and Pink Mask carved finials lost somewhere along the way

lost somewhere along the way

which I hope will work

or else taken on the road

The pastel watercolor triangles one this one feel to me like serenity itself

Peter Passuntino 1960s Tempera on Paper Painting of Black and Pink Mask carved finials lost somewhere along the wayA couple more works on paper today by Peter Passuntino (b. Chicago, 1936), dating to the 1960s this bold painting on paper of a face or mask, and a second more narrative sort of drawing. I find them both very full of humanity and emotion this one making me think a bit of Picasso, and Matisse too, and very much of the sort of sorrow and search for meaning that transcends time. 13 7 8" x 10 3 4". Overall pretty good condition, with loss to lower right
