Untitled

Seymour Lipton

Associated Names

Seymour Lipton

Artist, American, 1903 - 1986

Abstract drawing with bold, curved, and angular lines converging to form a dynamic, sculptural shape. The central form resembles outspread wings with sharp, pointed elements, with a circular, spherical shape nestled at the core. The composition's angular and curved elements suggest a connection to the natural and mechanical, evoking images of machinery or a stylized crest.
