Early Morning c. 1937

"Early Morning" is a lithograph created in c. 1937 by American artist Nan Lurie (1910–1985). The print features swirling, dark lines that create a sense of movement and depth, and the use of chiaroscuro adds to the dramatic effect. The composition is abstract, yet the artist's signature style, characterized by the use of dense, hatched lines, can be clearly seen in the work. The subject of the print remains open to interpretation, but the swirling lines and the shadowy figures suggest a dream-like or subconscious state.
