Donald Sultan

Squash from, Fruits and Flowers; and Apples and Oranges

Donald Sultan's *Squash* from *Fruits and Flowers* and *Apples and Oranges* are striking limited-edition prints that showcase the artist's bold, reductive approach to still-life imagery. Sultan distills organic forms into powerful, graphic shapes, using strong contrasts of light and dark to give the subjects a monumental, almost sculptural presence. Published by Parasol Press and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, these signed and numbered works exemplify Sultan's mastery of printmaking as a medium for exploring the tension between abstraction and representation.

Medium
Both signed, titled, dated and numbered 64/125 and 26/100 in pencil respectively (there were 20 and 10 artist's proofs respectively), published by Parasol Press, New York and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, both unframed.
