Charles Csuri, Sine Curve Man

posted 1 day ago #

This portrait, created in 1967 by Charles Csuri, has been sitting on my desktop for months. I tend to keep a tidy digital space but something about this image keeps calling me back. The original piece, printed on a plotter, belongs to the Whitney Museum. A blue silkscreen variant was available at Sotheby's.

The current accolades are nice but my interest is, pure and simple, the aesthetic of it. On that front, I don't really care to dissect the specifics of what I like about an art piece as it's subjective and unnecessary to explain why something is personally appealing. I'll just say, I absolutely love it.

There's plenty more to see from Csuri, as he experimented in digital art for his entire life (he lived to 99!). These early works are my favorites of his. Here's another plotter man, also conveniently entitled "Sine Curve Man."
