Irving G. Lehman

Artist, American, 1900 - 1983

The image displays bold, dark shapes and lines forming a striking composition with angular and somewhat jagged forms extending across the canvas. The central figures resemble stylized human silhouettes, with geometric accents such as triangles and ovals suggesting rudimentary facial features or clothing details. The shapes appear to be in motion or interacting, resembling figures on a stage or players in a drama, framed by a textured border that suggests a backdrop or enclosure.
