graphite & putty eraser, with watercolour pencil/30x21cm
The latest subject to be drawn from the random generator
revealed himself to be Fritz André, a sticker representing whom was included in
the FKS ‘Wonderful World of Soccer Stars World Cup 1974’ album (from which
original source was made the enlarged photocopy, of consequently compromised
image quality, that provided the immediate visual reference for the drawing
process), & who was selected for the
official Haiti squad for the Finals, subsequently making but one brief
appearance at the tournament, against Poland (André was replaced in the 37th
minute of the match, by which time Haiti already trailed 0 – 5, hurtling
towards inevitable defeat).
