Conversation II 1961

Harold Altman's 1961 work "Conversation II" is a minimalist drawing, likely an etching, rendered with a delicate, repetitive hatching technique. The composition features several figures, suggesting a gathering or conversation, with their forms partially obscured by the background lines. The artwork's sparse and suggestive nature evokes a sense of ambiguity and invites viewers to contemplate the underlying meaning and interactions within the scene. The muted tones and repetitive lines contribute to the artwork's understated elegance.
