The Graveyard 1950

"The Graveyard" is an etching by Alfred Russell, created in 1950, showcasing his abstract style with a focus on line and form. The print features a complex composition of geometric shapes and lines, overlaid and intersecting in a seemingly chaotic yet deliberate manner. The use of black and white ink creates a stark contrast and adds depth, drawing the viewer's eye through the various layers of the artwork. Russell's work often explores themes of urban landscapes and industrial environments, and "The Graveyard" could be interpreted as a reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the permanence of memory.
