Mug Shot Paintings
Mugshot
paintings inspired by the Book "Least
Wanted" and by original Minneapolis mugshots |
|
Intimate color portraits of the harshly-lit faces of criminals and unfortunates from the 1920s through the 1960s painted with a sympathetic rendering of human emotion. They allow us a voyeuristic view of people caught on camera, guilty and innocent. Click on each to see larger. Originals are black and white, I imagined them in color. |
