Faces - Triptych [left half] 1961

Aubrey Schwartz's "Faces - Triptych [left half]" (1961) is a striking lithograph that showcases the artist's unique style. The artwork is rendered in shades of gray, with the central face emerging from a dark, almost shadowy background. The abstract, gestural strokes create a sense of both immediacy and mystery, evoking a sense of psychological depth. Schwartz's use of lithography adds a textural element to the work, with the subtle lines and marks contributing to the overall ethereal and emotional impact of the piece. The use of only a single half of a triptych enhances the sense of incompleteness and invites the viewer to imagine the entirety of the composition.
