This assemblage is a great example of the use of abstraction. The woman in the assemblage is not easily recognizable. She is made up of bold, brushstrokes that are sometimes thick and sometimes thin. The background is a series of swirls and shapes. The artist was able to capture the essence of the subject without making her recognizable. The bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors make this assemblage a true masterpiece. cameraphone, tintype by Dustin Nguyen bleak
