Study for "Citadel" 1966

This charcoal drawing, "Study for 'Citadel,'" was created by American sculptor Seymour Lipton in 1966. Lipton is known for his abstract sculptures, and this study shows a preparatory drawing for one of his large-scale works. The composition features bold, dark lines that suggest a sense of solidity and mass, hinting at the sculptural form that Lipton would eventually create. The piece, with its focus on shape and volume, is representative of Lipton's style and his exploration of abstract form in three dimensions.
