Matriarch I 1961

Harold Altman's 1961 graphite drawing "Matriarch I" depicts a group of figures, with one woman standing out in the foreground. The figures are rendered in a gestural style, with the artist using a light touch to create a sense of movement and energy. Altman's distinct style, characterized by a minimalist approach and a focus on the human form, is evident in this drawing. The blurred and hazy outlines of the figures create a sense of mystery, inviting the viewer to interpret the relationships and emotions of the individuals depicted.
