Three-Quarters View, Peter Passuntino Painterly Oil on Paper Portrait of a Man, 1960s mixed media painting with some wear to theA couple more works on paper today by Peter Passuntino (b. Chicago, 1936), dating to the 1960s this and a second portrait, which I think may both be self portraits but I'm not entirely sure. (Lots out there about Passuntino, including photos.) I find them both very full of life, and tender too, and this one beautifully, skillfully painted, and better in person. 10" x 10 1 2". Oil, ink, watercolor on heavy paper. Very good condition.
