Men Seldom Make Passes ... 1946

"Men Seldom Make Passes..." is a 1946 lithograph by American artist Minna Citron, known for her bold, graphic style. Citron uses a striking contrast between black, white, and red to depict a woman seated and possibly sketching. Her gestural lines and use of negative space create a dynamic composition that captures the energy and confidence of a modern woman. The humorous title, a play on a popular saying, adds a layer of irony to the piece, inviting viewers to consider gender roles and societal expectations.
