Literature Faces — Paul Tuttas

Literature Faces

The series of portraits emerged from a regular reading event held in the studio of Illustration and Graphics at UMPRUM. Prominent contemporary writers and poets from the Czech Republic like Petr Placák, Jan Novák, Martina Pachmanová, Vojtěch Mašek, Pavel Klusák and Petra Hůlová presented their work while the students drew their portraits.
My Literature Faces are linocuts that have been refined from my original drawings, aiming to capture a unique expression, along with the subtleties of posture and attire. All the while, I have played with diverse structures, sizes, and contrasts that are so characteristic for the linocut technique.
