Portrait, Plate XII 1965

Editor: So here we have Michael Mazur's "Portrait, Plate XII." It's a striking, almost frantic sketch. What do you make of it? Curator: It's raw, isn't it? Mazur captures something essential, beyond mere likeness. See how the ink bleeds? Feels like the sitter's emotions are seeping through. Editor: I do. There's a vulnerability. Curator: Exactly! It's less about perfect lines, more about a fleeting emotional state. Ever feel like you’re just a collection of messy lines? Editor: Always! It's refreshing to see that translated into art. I'll remember that!
