Pewter Plate 1935 - 1942

Harry Goodman's "Pewter Plate," a graphite drawing from 1935 to 1942, is a striking example of still-life art. The piece features a single pewter plate rendered with meticulous detail, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow on its surface. The artist’s careful observation of the plate’s form and texture creates a sense of realism, inviting the viewer to appreciate the simple beauty of everyday objects. The artwork's minimal composition and focus on form are characteristic of Goodman's later work, showcasing his artistic prowess in capturing the essence of everyday objects with precision.
