A couple more works on paper today by Peter Passuntino (b. Chicago, 1936), dating to the 1960s--this narrative, sort of stream of consciousness drawing, along with a painting on paper of a face or mask. I find his work consistently compelling, and affecting--this drawing  seeming to portray the central figure, likely a portrait of the artist himself, in a certain state of turmoil, with one figure kneeling in front of him, another seeming to gesture to him from behind (with that ink painted hand seeming to pull at him, like an angel, or a devil, at his shoulder.)

At the age of 18, Passuntino was selected to be in a group show at the Carnegie Institute, and at 19 he was selected for a one-man show at the Artis
