Grunewald Study 1961

"Grunewald Study" is a 1961 charcoal drawing by Rico Lebrun, a French-American artist known for his expressive figural works. This study depicts a distorted and elongated figure of Christ on the cross, with two smaller figures flanking the central figure. Lebrun's signature style of bold, expressive lines and dark tones creates a dramatic and emotional atmosphere. The artwork's fragmented composition evokes a sense of pain and suffering, reflecting the artist's deep engagement with religious themes.
