Portrait 1952

"Portrait," a 1952 lithograph by American artist Benton Spruance, is a striking example of his style. It depicts a woman in a white blouse and orange scarf, rendered in a simplified, almost geometric manner. The figure is set against a backdrop of a tiled wall, further emphasizing the flattened, stylized forms characteristic of Spruance's work. This lithograph, created during the mid-20th century, reflects the artistic trends of the time, showcasing a blend of realism and abstraction that was popular in the postwar era.
