The Man in Black | Strings of a Cracked Soul
Sold
'The Man in Black' is a monochrome portrait of Johnny Cash in sepia and brown against a pale ground. The knitted brows, the deep lines and the downward gaze tell of a man who carried a lot: the deep voice, the pain, the faith and the return. There is no color because none is needed; the material of the oil, the broad strokes and the light on the forehead do the work. The portrait belongs to the collection's series of culture and music figures, alongside Nick Cave. Painted in 2022, 70 × 100 cm, oil on canvas, signed with a certificate of authenticity. The painting has been sold and is kept here as part of Eliran Bar-On's archive. A portrait of a musician or a beloved figure can be commissioned in a similar spirit.
