"By rending his works anonymous, Hume turns his back on his viewers, but only so that they might find their own faces reflected in the surface of the work."
In most of his paintings there are in block of matt or gloss paint seeing the reflections on the surface, in some of this painting he makes them with no face or the base high line of the face.
