Head (The Lovers of the Filfth/And the Wheel was Tied to the Door) is notable in its composition, which expands the subject (a head in profile) to fill the entire sheet of paper. This important tenet of Abstract Expressionism was something that Glasco took to heart as he was finding his own way of expressing his art.
