Cultural Head 1973

Venezuelan-American artist Marisol Escobar created the work "Cultural Head" in 1973. The lithograph portrays a face surrounded by a multitude of stylized hands that appear to radiate outward. The hands are colored in shades of green, red, and white, suggesting a symbolic representation of diverse cultures and perspectives. The image of the head, seemingly enveloped by these hands, could explore themes of unity, interconnectedness, and the influence of societal forces on individual identity. The composition of the work is striking in its symmetrical arrangement, drawing the viewer's eye towards the central face.
