Notes
"In this work on paper, the man has a fractured expression that is echoed in the startled confusion registered on the face of the monkey. It is an intriguing and slightly whimsical image that seems rooted in a distinctively Eastern-European sense of carnivalesque, veering between portraiture and caricature."1
