Night Swimmer c. 1940

"Night Swimmer" is a lithograph created by Cleo Sara Van Buskirk, an American artist, circa 1940. The artwork depicts a male figure standing on a beach, likely after a swim, as he holds a towel around his shoulders. The figure's muscular form and the loose, gestural lines of the lithograph capture a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Van Buskirk's style. The subtle shading and use of light create a sense of depth and realism in the work. The composition is simple but effective, with the figure dominating the space and the background suggesting the vastness of the ocean. The artwork is a captivating portrait of a solitary figure at the edge of the water, a testament to Van Buskirk's talent for depicting the human form and evoking atmosphere.
