Weegee

Reagan
c. 1960

A black and white distorted Polaroid photo collage of a smiling man's face and upper torso. The image is divided into uneven sections that misalign features such as the eyes, nose, and mouth, creating an abstract effect. The name "REAGAN" is handwritten in purple ink at the bottom of the Polaroid.
