ARTISTS ARE SMART

This is an 8x6 digital art in a signed, limited edition of 10 on paper. It’s adapted from a Victorian-era book on physiognomy, or face reading. Physiognomy is the belief that you can look at a face and decipher the personality behind it. The idea goes back 500 years to Pythagoras who selected his math students by what he saw in their faces. Physiognomy is palm reading but with faces. And every bit as scientific.
If your forehead is high and broad like this one, you have an artistic personality. It shows intelligence and an affinity for the arts. You are a high brow. Artistic is better than stuck up or superior to others which, according to physiognomy, an upturned nose indicates. Like an art critic’s, perhaps. I, by the way, have a VERY high forehead. Very.
After you purchase your art prints here on Artspan, go have a look at the same design in my Ketchum Art Shop. Find it on mugs, magnets and pillows. Hoodies, too. Yikes! www.teepublic.com/ketchumart
