Iron Head 1979

"Iron Head" is a 1979 lithograph by Peter Voulkos, a prominent American ceramicist and artist. The work is a stark example of Voulkos' abstract expressionist style, characterized by bold, gestural brushstrokes and an emphasis on the raw energy of the artistic process. The lithograph features a dark, imposing form in the center, surrounded by vivid blue and orange lines, which create a sense of dynamism and depth. The striking contrast between the black and white elements, and the scattered red dots, create a visually powerful and impactful composition.
