The Birth of a New Life 1982

"The Birth of a New Life" (1982) by Zoe Lerman is a gestural drawing that depicts a scene with three figures. The artist uses a combination of pencil and pastel on paper, creating a sense of movement and energy. The figures are rendered in a loose, expressive style, suggesting a moment in time. This artwork is a great example of Lerman’s expressive style, which was often inspired by real-life observations and personal experiences. The piece invites the viewer to interpret the scene and consider the relationship between the figures.
