Shark and Sonar 1952

"Shark and Sonar" (1952) is a print by American artist Benton Spruance (1904-1967), renowned for his abstract and expressionistic style. The artwork depicts a shark in a fragmented and geometric composition, with the use of bold lines and contrasting colors, suggesting the influence of cubism and abstract expressionism. Spruance's work often explores themes of nature and the human condition, and this piece likely reflects his interest in the marine world and the technology of sonar.
