Torsos & Faces

172 works · 1970–2020

Photographic fragments of the human body — cropped, magnified, repositioned — set against grounds that compete with and complement the figure. Presence through reduction; the body as found material, as much subject as surface. 172 works by Cleveland artist Jeffrey F. S. Neumann across collage, photography, and mixed-media spanning five decades. All series & themes →
