Citizen 1952

"Citizen," a 1952 lithograph by Benton Spruance, is a complex composition featuring several figures rendered in a dark, expressive style. The figures appear to be engaged in various activities within an undefined setting, with a shadowy, seemingly supernatural, entity looming overhead. Spruance's use of strong lines and dramatic contrasts creates a sense of mystery and tension within the artwork. The artist's signature, "Benton Spruance," can be seen at the bottom right corner.
