Figure 1935 - 1942

"Figure" is a drawing by American artist Florence Truelson, created between 1935 and 1942. The piece depicts two figures, each meticulously constructed from an assortment of found objects, including buttons, shells, and other small items. The artist's use of these materials and their detailed rendering creates a sense of both whimsy and a bit of the macabre, reflecting a Surrealist sensibility. The work showcases Truelson's innovative approach to materiality and her mastery of detail, highlighting the art of assemblage in the mid-20th century.
