After Titian
Artist: Ben Shahn
Date: Mid-20th Century
Ben Shahn reimagines Renaissance form through a modernist lens in this haunting, layered composition. At once figurative and abstract, After Titian evokes classical portraiture with ghostlike heads and dissolving flesh, set against a dreamlike wash of muted lavender, rose, and charcoal. True to Shahn’s voice, the work feels like both homage and critique—disassembling beauty while honoring its symbolic weight.
