Lotus c. 1935 - 1943

"Lotus" is a black and white print created by Edgar Imler, an American artist, between 1935 and 1943. The print features a close-up of several lotus blossoms. The artist captures the delicate beauty of the flowers with intricate details and bold lines. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark areas, creates a sense of depth and dimension in the composition. The print highlights Imler's mastery of the printmaking technique, showcasing his keen attention to detail and his talent for conveying form and texture. The print was likely created during Imler's transition to a more abstract style, influenced by modern art movements, as seen in the stylized depiction of the lotus leaves and water.
