Faces

“Far from being realist portraits, [Bourguignon’s faces] are reductive forms, often imbued with a patchwork of layered textures and colors and with simply rendered lines of brushwork to indicate, with the barest possible detail, distinguishing characteristics such as eyes, lips, and other facial features.“
