Dark Figures 1961

"Dark Figures" is a 1961 lithograph by the Mexican-American artist Rico Lebrun (1900-1964). Lebrun is known for his expressive figural works, often characterized by a sense of drama and emotion. This piece captures two figures obscured in a dark, seemingly ominous space. Their forms are rendered with gestural lines and dark tones, creating a sense of mystery and leaving their identities and emotions open to interpretation. The work is a testament to Lebrun's skill in using line and form to convey depth and complexity, making it a compelling exploration of the human condition.
