EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1792, where Benjamin West, an esteemed American artist of the time, captures the intense emotions of a screaming man. The image is rendered in black crayon on a sheet measuring 32.3 x 40.7 cm (12 11/16 x 16 in. ), allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the raw intensity depicted. The subject's face contorts with anguish as his mouth opens wide in a silent scream that seems to reverberate through time. His eyes are filled with despair and torment, reflecting the inner turmoil he must be experiencing. It is as if his very soul is crying out for release from some unseen pain or suffering. West's masterful use of black crayon creates deep shadows and contrasts that enhance the dramatic effect of this piece. The simplicity of medium allows us to focus solely on the emotional power emanating from this tortured visage. As we gaze upon this artwork, we cannot help but wonder about the circumstances that led West to capture such profound agony frozen in time. Was it inspired by personal experiences or perhaps a reflection of societal unrest during that era? Regardless, it serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human experience - one filled with both joy and sorrow. This print from Liszt Collection offers us an opportunity to delve into Benjamin West's artistic genius and invites contemplation on themes such as suffering, resilience, and ultimately finding solace amidst life's trials.
