Keeping Current With What's Trending I Decided I'm Offended

Post by Joe Guy »

The classic "white clown" is derived from the Pierrot character.  His makeup is white, usually with facial features such as eyebrows emphasized in black.  He is the more intelligent and sophisticated clown, contrasting with the rude or grotesque Auguste types.
