Indulge yourself in the spirit of these pictures by tracing the fine details in the facial expressions and lines. Wrestlers
battling against each other, a sigh of grief, a figure singing--these images and feelings depicted with many kinds oflines of diverse qualities, convey something that transcends words. We invite you to "listen" to the stories expressed
through form and the various techniques of the painter.
