Whistling in the dark by Robert Arneson

Description

*"A pioneering California ceramicist, Robert Arneson completed numerous monumental portrait heads during the 1970s. Like much of the artist’s work from this period, Whistling in the Dark depicts Arneson himself. This terracotta head, which the artist darkened by closing the gas kiln more than would have been customary, wears a relatively subdued expression compared to other works from the same period depicting Arneson’s grotesquely manipulated visage."* https://whitney.org/collection/works/2103 Captured at the Whitney Museum with Polycam Photo mode.
