The Escape 1964

"The Escape," a 1964 etching by Michael Mazur (1935-2009), depicts a dramatic scene of a figure escaping through a doorway. The dark, shadowy figure is shown reaching out from the doorway, with a hand outstretched and a foot firmly planted on the ground. The use of strong contrasts between light and dark creates a sense of urgency and suspense, highlighting the moment of escape. The artist’s skilled use of line and tone conveys a sense of movement and energy, making this a powerful and evocative work of art.
