Fuseli 1969

This 1969 lithograph, titled "Fuseli," is a stark portrait by American artist Leonard Baskin (1922-2000). The work is a powerful study in line and form, capturing the intensity of the subject's gaze through simple, expressive strokes. The minimal detail and stark contrast of the subject's face against the pale background amplify the emotional weight of the image. Baskin's work is known for its exploration of human vulnerability and mortality, often conveyed through portraits of historical figures.
