Study for "Conquistador" 1968

"Study for 'Conquistador'" is a 1968 pencil drawing by American sculptor Seymour Lipton (1903–1986). This preparatory drawing shows a study for Lipton's iconic sculpture "Conquistador," which depicts a complex arrangement of abstract forms. The use of graphite creates a sense of dimensionality and weight, while the simplified lines capture the essential structure of the sculpture. This drawing is a powerful testament to Lipton's artistic process, showing the careful planning and execution that went into his work.
