(Canadian, 1921–2009) Title: Untitled (Figural Composition) Medium: Original lithograph on paper Edition: 2/40 Signed: Signed in pencil lower right Sight Size: 21.5 × 28.5 in. Frame Size: 32.5 × 38.5 in. An original limited edition lithograph by noted Canadian modernist Jack Nichols (1921–2009), depicting a dramatic solitary figure emerging from a richly atmospheric field of deep blacks and luminous greys. The expressive composition exemplifies Nichols' mastery of lithography and his lifelong fascination with the human figure and psychological narrative. Nichols was one of Canada's foremost post-war graphic artists and painters, exhibiting internationally and representing Canada at the 1958 Venice Biennale. A Guggenheim Fellow, Official Canadian War Artist during the Second World War, and member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, his work is held in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Canadian War Museum, and numerous major public institutions.
