Abstract Portrait of Alex Jordan
Portrait drawing on paper with graphite and crayon of Alex Jordan. The black and orange abstract of the architect shows his hair with flute-styled motifs modeled on his signature cask ceramics. The composition assumes a book cover with the title across the top: "Alex Jordan," and a subtitle across the bottom: "The House on the Rock," and notes the author: "By Marv Balusek [sic, Balousek]." A small drawing of the house is in the lower left hand corner. |
