  • Rick Amor: Contemporary Romantic, 2016 - 2017

     

     

    Amor has made self-portraits throughout his career, and they serve as much a record of his physical condition as of his mental state. The frontal view and close cropping of Amor’s head lends a particular intensity to the three portraits here.
