The Glass #5 1959

"The Glass #5" is a 1959 lithograph by American artist Ralston Crawford (1906-1978), known for his abstract geometric compositions. This work is characterized by its bold, simple forms, minimal color palette, and precise lines. The interplay of overlapping geometric shapes creates a sense of depth and movement, while the use of textured lines adds visual interest. This print reflects Crawford's fascination with the interplay of light and form in everyday objects, using a limited color scheme to highlight the formal elements of the composition, exploring themes of abstraction and structural relationships.
