About this work

Overview

Robert Cremean’s 1967 lithograph, part of a series of fourteen prints, is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s collection. The work, untitled, exemplifies the artist’s interest in capturing fleeting bodily gestures through the lithographic process.

Subject & Meaning

The image depicts a figure caught in mid‑action, arms lifted and a low‑tilted hat obscuring the face, while the body twists sideways and one leg bends as if leaping or dancing. A second, more static figure appears in a doorway, arms outstretched, suggesting a dialogue of movement and stillness.

Technique & Style

Created with lithography, Cremean employs loose, rapid lines and simplified geometric shapes to convey kinetic energy. The immediacy of the sketch‑like marks highlights the artist’s focus on the dynamics of the human form rather than detailed realism.

History & Provenance

The print was produced in 1967 as one of a limited portfolio of fourteen lithographs. It entered the Museum of Modern Art’s holdings, where it remains accessible for study and exhibition.
