Frieze 1958

Harold Altman's "Frieze" (1958) is a black and white etching that depicts a crowded scene in a stylized manner. The figures are obscured, appearing as blurry shapes with undefined features. The artist utilizes strong, vertical lines to create a sense of depth and movement, suggesting a procession or gathering. The use of hatching and cross-hatching in the print gives the work a textured quality, adding to its abstract and enigmatic nature. "Frieze" showcases Altman's distinctive approach to printmaking, blending realism with abstraction.
