Minor with Lantern 1950

"Minor with Lantern" is a 1950 print by American artist Morton P. Traylor (1918-1996). This artwork exemplifies Traylor's distinctive style of bold lines and geometric shapes, creating a fragmented and abstract depiction of a figure holding a lantern. The print's monochrome palette further emphasizes the geometric forms and highlights the interplay of light and shadow. Traylor's work often explores themes of human figures and their interactions with their environment, often using stylized and symbolic imagery. This print, through its unique visual language, invites viewers to interpret the story unfolding in the composition.
