Untitled 1983

This charcoal drawing, “Untitled” by Seymour Lipton (1903-1986), exemplifies the artist's signature style. Lipton, known for his abstract sculptures, often utilized geometric forms and bold outlines in his drawings, creating a sense of depth and movement. This drawing, completed in 1983, reveals Lipton’s interest in the interplay of light and shadow, evoking a sense of dynamism through the interplay of intersecting planes. The minimalist approach to the subject creates a sense of dynamism and dimensionality. Lipton’s approach to abstract forms, with their emphasis on form and volume, were hugely influential in the development of modern sculpture and art.
