Deadlock 1947 - 1948

"Deadlock," a 1947-1948 print by Edward Landon, is a striking example of abstract art. The work features a complex, intertwined arrangement of biomorphic forms in shades of beige and brown, set against a vibrant teal background. Landon's use of simplified, organic shapes and bold colors creates a sense of dynamism and tension, suggesting a struggle or stalemate, reflected in the artwork's title. The print's bold lines and simple composition evoke a sense of both energy and stillness, making it a captivating example of mid-20th century printmaking.
