Judith 1950

Benton Spruance's 1950 "Judith" is a striking black and white lithograph depicting the biblical heroine Judith holding the severed head of Holofernes. The artist uses bold lines and contrasting light and dark areas to create a dramatic scene, capturing the raw emotions of the moment. The use of a single color adds to the somber atmosphere, emphasizing the starkness of the event. This artwork is a powerful interpretation of a well-known biblical story and a testament to Spruance's mastery of printmaking.
