Head of Man c. 1908

"Head of Man" is a charcoal drawing on paper by American artist Charles Demuth, created around 1908. The work depicts a man in a bowler hat, focusing on his face and upper torso. The artist's use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and texture, emphasizing the subject's features. The drawing is characterized by a simplified style and a sense of immediacy, typical of Demuth's early work. The subject matter and the artist's style reflect the influence of European modernism, particularly the work of artists like Cézanne and Picasso, on Demuth's early artistic development.
