Study for "Eagle" 1963

This pencil drawing, titled "Study for 'Eagle'" by Seymour Lipton (1903-1986), is a preparatory sketch for a larger sculpture. It depicts an abstract, angular form, possibly representing an eagle, perched on a simple platform. The gestural lines and fragmented forms are characteristic of Lipton's style, which often explored themes of nature and the human figure in a dynamic and expressive way. This study, created in 1963, reveals the artist's process of shaping ideas for his monumental sculptures, capturing the essence of his artistic vision through a simple yet powerful drawing.
