Bone-Head 1953

"Bone-Head" is a 1953 lithograph by Leon Golub, an American artist known for his powerful and often politically charged imagery. This piece is a complex abstract composition characterized by the artist's signature use of gestural lines and expressive mark-making. Golub's work, particularly his lithographs, often explored themes of violence, power, and the human condition. The dense layering of lines and washes creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the visceral world of the artwork. The title "Bone-Head" suggests a connection to anatomy and the fragility of human existence.
