Lithograph, "Meteor Man" by Richard Bosman

A man in a suit, adrift among the rocks. He seems not to have noticed.

Meteor Man is a lithograph by Richard Bosman (b. 1944), ca. 1985. Lithography lets an artist draw directly on the printing surface, and prints made this way keep the looseness of the drawn line. A black figure in a suit and shoes tumbles through a pale, speckled field, surrounded by heavy dark boulders. His hands are left white. Splatters and small fragments scatter between the stones. A wide white mat and a thin black frame surround the sheet. Twenty-four inches wide and 34 high.

Some commutes are worse than others.
