# 711 Reconstructed Painting 1974

I did quite a few variations on these. I still like them because of what isn't in them. I noticed in school that every painter leaves a little of their subconscious in their figurative work. This isn't a bad thing of course but it isn't intentional either. Every portrait has some of the artist's own face in it. I've seen very few portraits where this isn't true. I've seen very few paintings of any kind where it isn't true.
