Rabbit 1945

"Rabbit" is a 1945 etching by French-American artist Rico Lebrun (1900-1964). The artwork features a single figure, rendered in stark black and white, seen from behind as they leap forward with their arms outstretched, holding two staffs. The dynamic composition and dramatic use of light and shadow contribute to a sense of urgency and movement, suggesting a struggle or a desperate escape. Lebrun's powerful and expressive style, often characterized by elongated figures and bold lines, is evident in this piece.
