EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Charles Demuth's iconic artwork titled "I Saw Figure 5 Gold". Created in 1928, this masterpiece combines oil, graphite, ink, and gold leaf on paperboard. Measuring at 35 1/2 x 30 inches (90.2 x 76.2 cm), it showcases Demuth's talent as an American artist from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Demuth was known for his abstract portraits and completed eight of them between the years of 1924 and 1929. This particular piece is a tribute to modern American artists, writers, and performers. It was created as a physical likeness portrait of his friend William Carlos Williams, who was both a poet and physician. Inspired by Williams' poem "Great Figure". Demuth skillfully evokes the sights and sounds of a fire engine speeding down the street at three in the morning. The use of imagery in this artwork is truly captivating. This print allows viewers to appreciate the intricate details of Demuth's work up close. The combination of different mediums adds depth and texture to the piece while highlighting its golden hues. As part of the Liszt Collection, this print preserves an important moment in art history that celebrates both friendship and artistic expression without commercial intentions or associations with any specific company or brand.
