Illuminations 1959

"Illuminations" is a black and white lithograph created in 1959 by American artist Richard Florsheim (1916-1979). The artwork depicts an abstract cityscape at night, with tall buildings silhouetted against a dark sky and illuminated by a bright, geometric light source. Florsheim, known for his geometric abstractions, employed bold lines and stark contrasts to create a sense of urban dynamism in this evocative piece. The artwork is suggestive of the city’s energy and the interplay of light and darkness in an urban setting.
