Stag, from Flaubert's "St. Julien the Hospitaller" 1957

"Stag, from Flaubert's 'St. Julien the Hospitaller'" is a 1957 lithograph by Leonard Baskin. It depicts a stag in a contorted position, its legs and head twisted in an unnatural way. The image is a stark black and white composition, with a strong sense of line and detail. Baskin is known for his expressive and often dark imagery, and this piece reflects his signature style. The stag's unusual pose, suggests a sense of pain and suffering, and the overall feeling of the work is one of unease.
