About " Untamed Facial Hair"
The artist seems to have purposefully vertical length – the elongated and untamed beard drawn in portrait style, afford the piece strong vertical flow. The elaborate headgear and the seemingly endless beardenhance the emphasis on the wisdom and austere nature of an ascetic. The smooth top down flow allows a viewer to gaze at the piece without feeling hurried.
The principles of design have been cleverly put into play, resulting in a fabulous work of art. There seems to be a rhythm of continuity between the abstract colors at the top, flowing downward into a blue hue. The symmetry emphasizes the simplicity of a puritan life.
