Peter Passuntino Portrait of Man in Striped Shirt, 1960s 1889 and with a raised designA couple more works on paper today by Peter Passuntino (b. Chicago, 1936), dating to the 1960s this and a second portrait, which I think may both be self portraits. I find them both very full of life, and very human, and the handling of the stripes on this shirt really does it for me! Somehow makes me think both of Alex Katz and Francesco Clemente, really quite beautiful. 13 7 8" x 10 3 4". Ink, inkwash, watercolor, charcoal. Tearing folding along
