about Head of Man
Completed in 1922, Senecio is a manifestation of Paul’s sense of humor and African culture.
The simple colors and shapes, Paul makes use of various shades of orange, red, and yellow to reveal portrait of an old man. Artistic use of shapes gives the false impression that one eye browse is raised. His left eyebrow is represented by a triangle while the other one is made of a simple curved line. The portrait is also called Head of a Man Going Senile and intentionally mimics children’s artwork by using ambiguous shapes and forms with minimal facial details. This giclee print is a signed and numbered limited edition version of the original painting, produced in 2009.
