Untitled 1979

This is a 1979 charcoal drawing by American sculptor Seymour Lipton (1903-1986) titled "Untitled." The work, characteristic of Lipton's late style, explores the possibilities of abstract form through the use of simplified, geometric shapes. The stark contrast between the white paper and the charcoal lines emphasize the bold angularity of the composition. The artist's signature, "Lipton '79," appears in the lower right corner.
