The Cock 1952

"The Cock" is a 1952 lithograph by Bernard Reder (1897-1963), featuring a rooster depicted with a bold, expressive style. The artist uses stark contrasts of black and white to emphasize the rooster's form, which is rendered in a fluid and gestural manner. The image evokes a sense of movement and energy, typical of Reder's approach to art. His work often explored themes of nature and the human condition, with a focus on the inherent beauty and complexity of the world around us.
