Associated Names

Seymour Lipton

Artist, American, 1903 - 1986

The drawing shows a collection of geometric shapes and bold lines, including rectangular and cylindrical forms. The abstract composition resembles architectural structures or machinery components. The tall vertical shapes, resembling pillars or pipes, are mixed with shaded areas implying depth and layering. One shape bends or curves, bringing dynamism to the structure. The elements are situated on a rectangular base like a free-standing sculpture.
