Description: Laughing Clown Composition continues George Condo’s exploration of psychological portraiture and fragmented figures. In this etching enhanced with drypoint, the artist fuses tradition with contemporary dissonance, depicting decomposed faces that are simultaneously grotesque and expressive, within a dense composition of lines and textures.

Created in 2020 and published by Hauser & Wirth Editions, this work demonstrates Condo’s graphic power, where the virtuosity of line interacts with the inner chaos of his characters. Each face appears both shattered and recomposed, in a singular visual language combining Cubism, caricature, abstraction, and figuration.
