Vintage Surrealist Painting by Showalter (1974) – 20x16 Abstract Face with Silho

This striking vintage painting, signed “Showalter '74” (or possibly '79), features a haunting surrealist composition: a large, textured face gazes forward while two black silhouetted figures flank the edges—appearing almost like headphone speakers at first glance. The visual illusion creates a powerful effect, inviting interpretations ranging from psychological introspection to cultural commentary.
