Edward Sacks
Edward Sacks, Seated Figure

1948

About the Item

Little is known about the artist, Edward (Ed) Sacks, although this print may have been made at the Art Students League in NYC. it is a cross between, as the title suggests, a Seated Figure, that we can make out clearly, and an extravaganza of a creature. It is drawn in a modernist manner, a style that obscures (or complicates?) the details of the face and other body parts. The shoulders are especially noticeable as are the ridges or parallels in the central 'arm.' In many ways is is an ideal mid-twentieth century image. It is signed, titled, and dated in pencil. And there are marks from the edge of the lithographic stone still showing in the top and left margins.
