Lemons, May 16, 1984 1984

"Lemons, May 16, 1984" is a 1984 work by American artist Donald Sultan. The piece features a close-up, simplified depiction of lemons against a black background. The lemons are rendered in solid yellow and appear to be overlapping, creating a sense of depth and volume. The piece is notable for its starkness, its minimal use of color and detail, and its focus on the form of the lemons, echoing the artist's signature style of incorporating ordinary objects in a stylized, abstract manner.
