Peter c. 1949

"Peter", a 1949 print by James V. Harvey, showcases a stylized, almost abstract depiction of a figure. The artist's use of thick, black lines creates a sense of depth and texture, while the muted green and blue hues add a sense of tranquility. The fragmented and layered faces contribute to the piece's overall abstract quality, suggesting a portrait that is both physical and emotional. This work is an example of Harvey's exploration of expressionism and abstraction in printmaking, exploring the interplay between form and emotion.
