Paul Harcharik’s Chair Series #9, 1982, depicts a singular wooden chair. The specific positioning of the chair within the print focuses on its legs in the center, while its backrest is severed by the framing of the border. Casting shadows to the left, the light source creates geometrical lines running perpendicular to legs of the chair. The backrest and chair’s shadow continuing outside of the picture plane heightens the abstract and alluring qualities of this print. Coupled with the color palette of browns, yellows, and muted blues, the elongated strokes and sketch-like characteristics add to the overall organic and harmonious tone.
