JOHN WOODROW WILSON (1922 - 2015)
Five Men.

Offset lithograph on wove paper, 2004. 368x622 mm; 14 1/2x24 1/2 inches, full margins. Signed, titled, dated and numbered 14/56 in pencil, lower margin. Published by Brandywine Workshop, Philadelphia.

Provenance: collection of Anne & Allan Edmunds.

Another impression is in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Reflecting upon his social and racial justice based practice, Wilson depicts five anonymous men that seem to have witnessed something unimaginable just outside the viewer's range. The central figures are wide-eyed and in motion while the other men look upon the viewer.

Consigned to support the Brandywine Workshop in Philadelphia and its legacy endowment campaign.
