Untitled 

Jacqueline Hick, born in 1919, created this evocative unnamed print. Hick lived through a time of significant social change and upheaval, from the interwar period to the rise of second-wave feminism. This print captures a musician in a moment of performance, perhaps of introspection, mediated through the artist’s eye. The choice to depict this individual, and the way in which Hick’s rendering softens the figure’s features, speaks to broader questions of identity and representation. The vibrant, gestural marks suggest a dynamic and energetic quality, giving life to what would otherwise be a more traditional portrait. Hick's art often explores emotional and personal themes. The musician's absorption in his playing resonates with Hick's dedication to her craft. It’s a reminder of art’s power to connect us to our shared humanity, echoing the rhythms of life through the language of art.
