James Henry Daugherty American, 1889-1974 Abstraction April 30, 1965 Signed JD and dated Apr/30/68 Pastel and graphite on paper 18 x 12 inches Provenance: Private collection, 1979 until present After a period of figurative exploration, Daugherty returned to abstraction in the 1950s, referencing his modernist beginnings while finding inspiration in the contemporary world. His works of the 1960s are considered among his finest, as he responded to the new era of space travel. His fascination with this subject is suggested in this dynamic arrangement of interlocked geometric shapes, which he rendered with a soft yet firm touch.
