Nocturne II 1979

"Nocturne II" is a 1979 etching by Evan Summer, an artist known for his abstract geometric works. The print depicts a chaotic composition of interlocking rectangular and triangular shapes, rendered in shades of gray. This creates a sense of depth and volume, resembling an urban landscape viewed from above. Summer's masterful use of line and shading suggests a nighttime scene, hence the title "Nocturne." This artwork is a notable example of abstract printmaking and is a testament to Summer's ability to convey complex ideas through simple geometric forms.
