Lincoln, 2013
Wayne Brezinka, born 1968
Among the items used in creating LINCOLN are: a patriotic envelope featuring the Constitution; tintype photographs, used in Lincoln's eyebrow, beard and bowtie; a newspaper dated January 6, 1863, used in one of the white stripes of the flag; and an 1862 page from Harper's Weekly. Several photos of slaves were used to construct Lincoln's ear and the shadows around his eye and right cheekbone. A photograph of slaves picking cotton on a plantation has been fastened to the lower-left portion of his jacket. |
