Martin Summers, Face

Martin Summers (1922–2012) stands among the most compelling voices of 20th-century art. Known professionally as a New York printmaker, his private studio practice revealed a strikingly different pursuit—an intimate, near-obsessive exploration of the female form.

This signed figural ink drawing exemplifies that vision, mounted on linen and presented in a black frame with glare-free museum glass. A timeless work of line and expression, it can be paired with additional Sumers drawings from the collection for an even greater impact.
