About the Item
Lorraine Ginsburg was an insightful and prolific artist, born in the Bronx in 1929. She passed away in 2020.
She experimented extensively, playing with abstract forms or executing multiple studies of a model in charcoal or pencil. Her work was primarily paintings and drawings but also includes several sculptures and mixed media pieces.
This drawing, dated 2000 and signed, shows the artist's skill in composition, sharpened by years of observations, deepening, and studying, ingeniously blending representation and abstraction to activate a space for reflection within the viewer.
The use of charcoal to create dark lines and flat areas of black, gray, and white ineffably adds depth of drama to the atmosphere of this semi-abstract drawing.
Lorraine incorporates a mysterious figure into the drawing. The figure stands behind a larger white form, which could represent the invasive presence of death in her life. This may include the departure of her husband and daughter, as well as her own battle with cancer. The white form seems to grow like an ectoplasm, transforming cells in its path into something that no longer belongs to the land of the living. In the background, there are stylized, black forms that could be interpreted as a grid or even jail bars.
In her last years of life, Lorraine Ginsburg's art exemplified perfectly the subtle usage of flawless figuration and skillful employment of abstraction to revolutionize our approach towards interpretation in a metaphysical dialogue with ourselves.
