Warthog 1950

"Warthog" is a 1950 drawing by American artist John Galloway, depicting a warthog in a gestural and abstract style. Galloway captures the animal's essence through simplified forms and expressive lines, emphasizing its powerful presence and unique features, like its prominent tusks and snout. The artwork, measuring 45.5 x 61 cm, is rendered in a muted palette of browns, grays, and greens on paper, evoking a sense of both the animal's raw power and the artist's dynamic approach to capturing its form. Galloway's work often explored themes of nature and animals, capturing their essence with expressive, abstract forms.
