Altman - December 1983 - Central Park, NY

As Harold Altman matured in his work he concentrated more on the beauty in America. He would still visit his printmakers in Paris every year but his subjects became more Americanized. Throughout the 1980's he created a series of his impressions of Central Park in New York City. This one was created in 1983 as a winter scene of a solitary person trudging through the snow on the path. Altman's style and subtle use of shades of almost monotone are used to his fullest talent in this piece. Click the photo to the right for a larger view and other photo.

Number 162 in a series of 200. The print is framed and museum matted in off-white to 22" x 18".
