Nancy Hirsch Lassen's Black Birds No. 1

Availability: 4-6 weeks

A study in graphic tension, Black Birds No. 1 suspends a fleet of silhouetted forms against an open ground, the composition reading as both spontaneous and deeply considered. The canvas is housed in a slender wood frame finished in gold, its warm luminosity providing just enough ceremony without competing with the work itself. Nearly square in proportion at under two feet to a side, the piece carries the quiet authority of something far larger — a reminder that restraint, in the right hands, is its own kind of drama.
