created in 1983. Altman is celebrated for his intimate depictions of everyday life, particularly urban and Parisian scenes. This work captures a bustling open-air market, rendered with remarkable sensitivity to light, texture, and human interaction. The composition centers on a solitary figure selecting produce, surrounded by vibrant displays of fruit and the subtle movement of a crowd. The artist’s use of deep reds, warm earth tones, and soft grays creates both visual richness and emotional depth. Altman’s ability to blend realism with painterly softness gives the scene a timeless, almost cinematic quality. Signed and numbered in pencil, this lithograph is a fine example of Altman’s mature work. See less
