Elevated Structure 1977

"Elevated Structure" (1977) is a lithograph by August Mosca, an American artist known for his geometric abstractions. The artwork captures the essence of a modern urban scene, likely inspired by the cityscapes of his time. Mosca masterfully utilizes the expressive power of black and white, creating a powerful visual statement through the interplay of light and shadow. The composition emphasizes geometric shapes and stark contrasts, reflecting the influence of Cubism, a movement that emerged in the early 20th century and celebrated the fragmentation of form and the flatness of the picture plane. "Elevated Structure" showcases Mosca's signature style, his ability to capture the dynamism of urban life through the lens of geometric abstraction.
