Vision 1939

"Vision" (1939) is a black and white lithograph by American artist Joseph Vogel (1911-1995). The work is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The print shows an abstract and stylized composition of figures, with an emphasis on geometric shapes and forms, characteristic of the Cubist style. The figures are presented in a fragmented and overlapping fashion, creating a sense of depth and movement. "Vision" illustrates the artist’s use of simplified forms and a limited palette, drawing the viewer into a world of distorted figures and enigmatic visual storytelling.
