Altman - Sunday 1988 - Central Park Series

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 1988 as a summer scene of people enjoying the park on a warm sunny day. Altman's style and subtle  use of color and shadow are used to his fullest talent in this piece. Click the photo to the right for a larger view and other photos.

Number 27 in a series of 215. The print is framed and museum matted White over Gray to 33" x 27".
