Maestlin G Region of the Moon 1972

"Maestlin G Region of the Moon" is a 1972 work by American artist Nancy Graves (1939-1995). The piece is a meticulous drawing on paper that utilizes a stippling technique, where the artist meticulously places tiny dots of color to create tonal variations and shapes. The work depicts a section of the moon's surface, a subject that was popular amongst artists in the 1960s and 1970s due to the space race. The work's abstract representation of the lunar landscape, with its various color variations and geometric shapes, creates a sense of otherworldliness and wonder.
