Description

Subject Matter:

Created by one of the prominent American abstract sculptors, this drawing is likely a study, after the fact, of the Lipton's 1957 sculpture, Winter Solstice #2 (Hirschorn). Lipton's sculpture often was meant to convey the complexities of the human psyche. 

Physical Description:

This black and white drawing depicts a sculptural, three-dimensional abstract form at the center. The spiky form stands on a rectangular base and a horizon line is visible at the center behind the object. The drawing is signed and dated in crayon (c.r.) "Lipton 59" and dated in pencil (c.r.) "59".
