Description
-
Samella Sanders Lewis, born in New Orleans in 1923, was a printmaker, painter, sculptor and art historian. Head is a print close up portrait of a face just below the chin to slightly above the front hairline. The contrast in deep shadows and light create a composition of distinctive cheekbones, a broad nose and baggy eyes.
