Horn Man c. 1953

Billy Morrow Jackson's "Horn Man" (c. 1953) is a striking black and white lithograph that exemplifies the artist's interest in the human form. The figure is depicted in a gestural, almost abstract style with a focus on the instrument, which appears to be a saxophone or trumpet. This drawing was likely created as part of a series exploring the connection between music and the human experience. The rhythmic and dynamic lines of the artwork create a sense of energy and movement, evocative of the music the figure is playing. The use of black and white is both stark and elegant, emphasizing the contours of the figure and the intricacies of the instrument.
