Additional Details: The Tormented One (1953) is an original signed woodcut print by renowned American artist Leonard Baskin. Executed in Baskin’s signature bold and expressive style, the work embodies the raw intensity and psychological depth that define his mid-20th century output. Printed in stark black on heavy paper, the image conveys anguish and inner conflict through the force of line and form, hallmarks of Baskin’s figurative expressionism. This example is signed in pencil by the artist at the lower right corner and bears the title The Tormented One. Created early in Baskin’s career, it reflects his mastery of woodcut as a medium and his interest in the human condition, mortality, and spiritual struggle. Authentic signed woodcuts from the 1950s are scarce, making this a highly collectible work of graphic art.
