Description
Peter Todd Mitchell (1924-1988) was a Surrealist and Symbolist artist from the mid-century American and Spanish. This image centers on the nude young man with a clothed female by his side. The moment on the face is a drinking scene but caught with the intense introspection and emotional potential outcome. Mitchell was a true master of the linear arts, creating a splendid skin over the skin and delicate drafting of the hands around the glass.
This moment in time holds the suspense of a visual thriller, will he? will she? The full meaning is unknown but something is happening for sure. Beautiful drawing, visually static, and emotionally dynamic action. Age appropriate Measurements are framed 27.5" by 21", and 24" by 17.75" the image
