    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[“Girl with the D Earring” is a modern Detroit take on Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl With a Pearl Earring.&quot; As quoted from the artist, “From the wide range of music, visual arts, fashion and automotive innovation to everything in between, Detroit has been a city of culture creation. Culture and innovation create figurative and literal ‘chroma’ - the purity and intensity of color. Though this piece is North End specific, it captures the personality of Detroit, the city.” <br />

The figure on the left is looking toward the viewer while the figure on the right is looking over his right shoulder toward the left side of the mural. The two figures are painted using different color schemes. The one on the left is painted in cool tones, and is depicted wearing a grey T-shirt. The figure on our right is painted in warm colors, and is depicted wearing a yellow-orange T-shirt. Note that the mural&#039;s colors have changed over time with their earlier tones being more vibrant. This is particularly noticeable in the background, which was originally a bright red. Some of the warmer tones, too, have become less rich.<br />

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Pencil portrait of a woman with long, straight hair and her alternate, Medusa-inspired mirror image reflected along the horizontal axis. The woman&#039;s eyes are looking straight at the viewer, with her head turned somewhat to her right in a 3/4 angle pose. She has thin eyebrows, full lips, a straight, long nose, strong jawline, and somewhat pointed chin. The portrait only covers the woman&#039;s head and the very top of her neck. Shading is employed to give definition and contour to the woman&#039;s face. She has a slight dimple on her left cheek (on the right cheek, as seen by the viewer).  Her hair is parted down the center and on each side of the part, the hair is a single mass with no delineation. The woman&#039;s Medusa-like reflected image shows her in the same pose, mirrored across both the vertical and horizontal planes. The Medusa-figure looks much the same as her &quot;twin,&quot; but her pupils are vertically slanted and reptilian-looking. She also has a rodent&#039;s paw and tail protruding from her lips--probably a mouse. On the left side of her head, one section of her hair morphs into the body and head of a snake. The snake is ready to strike, mouth open, fangs barred. The snake&#039;s underbelly is striped width-wise while its back is striped lengthwise in a pattern corresponding to the way the Medusa&#039;s hair is depicted, in wide sections. The paper used here is off-white, perhaps somewhat more so than originally. The paper is thin and quite transparent and there is a crease running slantwise from one side to the other in the lower half; it runs across the Medusa-like woman&#039;s forehead and the left side of the crown of her head. There are some large tears in the bottom-left corner of the paper and other, smaller tears in several places near the edges as well. There are some small, gold-colored spots of discoloration and there is some tape-residue along the bottom edge, along the center and also in each corner.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Portrait of a melancholic woman, from the neck up, in acrylic on paper, mounted on thick, textured, camel-colored card stock (not pictured). This painting is done in the style of Expressionism, using unrealistic colors; the woman&#039;s skin is painted in shades of pinks and purples, for instance. She is facing slightly away from the viewer, left at a 3/4 angle. The figure has a thin, angular, waif-like face, and pointed chin, with a long, thin nose and a pointed chin and full lips. Her irises and pupils are a stark, solid, extremely deep blue color, very nearly black, and the outline of her eyes is suggested in a slightly lighter blue. She is resting her right hand against her right cheek, palm out, and fingers slightly curled. The thumb appears to run underneath her chin, her little finger resting just beneath her eye, the tip of her ring finger just below and to the right of her nose, and her middle and index fingers resting near the right side of her mouth. The woman&#039;s hair is full, long, straight, and straw-colored, with some yellow highlights near the crown of the head. There&#039;s a bright yellow area on the top of the woman&#039;s right shoulder. There is no evidence of clothing, though, and it&#039;s unclear what the yellow area is meant to represent. There are some green tones on the woman&#039;s neck, perhaps representing shadow, but her underlying skin color is still purple. The paint is applied thickly in this painting, particularly in the woman&#039;s hair. Different shades of pink and purple are used to create the contours of the face and imply shadows. The painting was done on paper taken from a pad, and there are both tabs along the top, near the crown of the head, and hole punches along the left side, three of which are visible. The bottom three centimeters of the paper was folded under along the bottom edge of the paper to make the working area smaller. The paper is torn inward at the middle hole punch and there are three creases running left to right across the paper in even increments where it must have been folded at one time. One crease runs across the woman&#039;s forehead, under her bangs. The second crease runs just under the bridge of the woman&#039;s nose and just below her eyes. The third crease runs through her wrist and just beneath her bottom lip, through the yellow paint on her right shoulder. Additionally, there&#039;s a section of paper missing from the top right of the painting, slightly impacting the depiction of the woman&#039;s hair.]]></dcterms:description>

Only his head is pictured. His expression is serious, but largely neutral. The man has short hair and a rectangular face. Only his left ear (the right, from the viewer&#039;s perspective) is drawn. His chin is square, although there is evidence that it was originally drawn as cleft. His nose is straight, his lips are neither thin nor full, and  his eyebrows slightly bushy. The paper itself is yellowed with age, and would have come from a drawing pad as the tabs are largely still intact along the top of the page. It is quite translucent and thin. The paper has been torn into an irregular shape.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Watercolor portrait of a young girl--the artist&#039;s daughter, depicted here likely around age five. The girl is facing the observer squarely, looking over her right shoulder. She is wearing a white, collarless shirt; blue-gray paint creates a light shadow on her right shoulder and a darker shadow on her chest. The girl has blue eyes and a neutral expression on her face. She is looking slightly down and to her right. Her hair is painted mostly in shades of red-brown, with some golden-colored accents. The hair, just longer than shoulder-length, appears very slightly wavy or disheveled and some falls over the right shoulder. The right side of the face (from the perspective of the observer) is in shadow. The background behind the girl is  painted in a mix of brown and greens. The background color does not go evenly to all edges of the paper and the paint coverage varies between heavy, and light or dry-brushed. The paper itself--medium, cold-pressed, probably--is somewhat jaggedly cut along the top edge, smooth along the left side, and deckled along the bottom and right sides. Some of the preliminary sketch done in pencil is still visible, particularly around the nose, mouth, and chin.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Watercolor portrait of a young girl--the artist&#039;s daughter, here depicted likely around age five. The girl is facing the observer, although not squarely. The girl&#039;s body is merely suggested, but based on a related painting ([Artist&#039;s daughter II]) she is likely looking at the viewer over her right shoulder. The brushwork is loose and suggestive, more so than the artist&#039;s usual work. The girl&#039;s clothing appears to be white, with sky-blue accents around the shoulders. The girl&#039;s hair, which is just past shoulder-length and straight, is painted in various shades of browns on the left side of the piece, and browns and purples on the right side. The right side of the face, as seen by the observer, is less well-defined and appears to be in deeper shadow. The girl wears a neutral expression and her eyes appear to be cast slightly down and to her right. The eyes are painted in shades of gray. The background around the girl&#039;s head is painted an olive-brown color; it does not go to the edge of the paper and coverage varies with the white background showing through in several places where the brush was drier. White space is left around the edges of the painting. Some pencil lines are faintly visible from the original sketch. The paper itself is medium, cold-pressed, and cut cleanly along the bottom and right edges, but is deckle-edged along the left and top edges.]]></dcterms:description>
