Donald Sultan

Playing Card (Jack of Diamonds)

1990

This aquatint exemplifies Sultan's exploration of familiar iconography through his characteristic reductive aesthetic, transforming the traditional playing card motif into a bold, graphic composition. The artist's mastery of the aquatint technique creates rich tonal variations that emphasize the geometric forms and symbolic power of the Jack of Diamonds.
