Portrait: Walter Mondale

(C) 2017 Dale DiMauro

When I brought in the mail earlier this month I kept looking at the cover with this face on it. In today's political environment, Walter Mondale's persona seems to have acquired greater honor in this era of reality television and fake news. Yet Mr. Mondale's face is unmistakeable to anyone who has lived long enough to be aware of Walter's background.

People saw this drawing and knew exactly who it was. There seems to be a strong relationship between the eyes, nose and mouth that is unmistakable to all humans.

This pencil drawing was inspired by a photograph on the cover of Macalester Today by David J. Turner.
