Paintings: Faces #632 and #633: Portrait of Chou En-Lai

By Jack Brummet

I have had the second picture on the wall for years.  But today when I took it down to bring it to my office, I discovered I had done another painting on the back.

This silk poster was originally a portrait of Chou En-Lai.  I transformed it into the man with flaming hair.  But on the obverse side, I worked on the image of Chou En Lai.  And here it is, years later.
