Hombre con sombrero de corcho 1957

"Hombre con sombrero de corcho" (Man with a Cork Hat), a 1957 work by Joy Hester, is a striking portrait featuring a man in a wide-brimmed hat, with exaggerated features and piercing blue eyes. The work, created using a combination of ink and watercolor on paper, is rendered in a stark, almost cartoonish style, characteristic of Hester's artistic approach. The figure's intense gaze and the somewhat unsettling nature of the composition add a layer of intrigue to this unique and captivating piece.
