faces

“There is nothing on earth more fascinating than the human face,” said art critic Owen Edwards in “American Masters” Richard Avedon: Darkness and Light—a documentary about the titular Master Photographer.

Whether famous or known only by a few, we study faces and make judgments about people by looking at their faces.

It is said the human face contains 42 muscles and that we can make only four recognizable facial expressions. But there are many subtle emotions expressed in the face – anger, contempt, joy, sorrow, fear, delight, humility, and awe, just to name a few.

For me, the human face is a landscape I never tire of investigating.
