Untitled 1961

"Untitled" is a black and white lithograph by American artist Rico Lebrun, created in 1961. Lebrun, known for his expressive and often dramatic depictions of the human figure, employed bold, gestural strokes and stark contrasts of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and movement. The composition, featuring two figures intertwined in an ambiguous embrace, evokes a feeling of intimacy and vulnerability, inviting viewers to interpret the emotional undercurrents of the scene. The artist’s dynamic use of line and form reflects the influence of Expressionism and Abstract Expressionism, while his subject matter resonates with themes of human connection and the complexities of the human condition.
