This haunting original ink drawing by Kurt Vonnegut presents a surreal portrait where the subject's face appears to peel away, revealing layers of meaning beneath the surface. Created in the Modern Art tradition of psychological portraiture, Vonnegut's distinctive linework explores themes of identity, transformation, and the masks we wear. The moon motif adds an otherworldly dimension to this compelling work on paper, characteristic of the author-artist's unique visual vocabulary. A rare example of Vonnegut's artistic practice that complements his literary legacy, this piece demonstrates his ability to convey complex emotional states through deceptively simple imagery.
