Description
Mohawk Portrait by Sabrina K. Wheeler
The mohawk hairstyle is sometimes worn today as an emblem of non-conformity. This young man had a very nice demeanor and was pleased to allow me to capture a side shot of him. I thought the colors he chose for his hair was quite artistic.
From Wikipedia: The hairstyle has been in existence in many parts of the world for millennia. For instance, the Clonycavan Man, a 2000-year-old male bog body discovered near Dublin in 2003, was found to be wearing a mohawk styled with plant oil and pine resin. During World War II, many American GIs, notably paratroopers from the 101st Airborne Division wore mohawks to intimidate their enemies. It was also occasionally worn by American troops during the Vietnam War. In the early 1950s some jazz musicians and even a few teenage girls, wore them.
It is an honor for Mohawk Portrait to be featured in the following Fine Art America Gallery Groups:
