The Art of Barbering
Photos appropriated from a 1931 Standardized Textbook of Barbering were inspiration for this series of gouache and pencil pieces with vellum overlays on rag paper.
The expert barber lays the foundation for shaping the haircut with a precise science as well as a philosophy that is evident throughout this inspirational textbook.
As stated on the cover of the textbook, “It pays to look well.”
