Judith 1950

"Judith" is a 1950 print by American artist Benton Spruance, known for his abstract style and depictions of the human figure. The print features a simplified, almost skeletal, representation of Judith, the biblical heroine, with her hand raised in a gesture of victory. The minimalist forms and muted tones of the print emphasize the drama and intensity of the scene, and the use of white on a pale pink background creates a striking visual contrast. This is a classic example of Spruance's work, which sought to capture the essence of his subject matter through stark and expressive forms.
