Ernie Barnes

another great example of gesture in emotion is Ernie Barnes, although his work is more abstract, he uses the form of his subjects to tell the story rather than its tears.

'His effort'

Ernie has a very unique quality to his work, he exaggerates the features of his subjects to be slightly deformed, yet this accentuates the desired effect of his art.

 

'song of myself'

 

although he uses the gesture of the subjects to show it feelings, he also admires the faces and facial expressions to help. in song of myself, Ernie uses the facial expressions to show pleasure an comfort the subject has playing his guitar.
