Curfew 1960

"Curfew" is a 1960 abstract print by American animator Jules Engel. The artwork is a testament to Engel’s versatile artistic talents beyond animation. The print depicts a black, gestural mass of lines and textures against a pale background, creating a sense of energy and motion. Engel's exploration of line and form, reminiscent of Abstract Expressionism, suggests an intense and spontaneous creative process. This print is an interesting departure from his more well-known animation work, and a testament to his artistic breadth.
