Artist: Stanley J. Krupa
Title: A Step Backward
Year: 1987
Medium: Artist Proof (A.P.) – print on paper
Stanley J. Krupa’s A Step Backward (1987) is a compelling example of the artist’s abstract expressionist style, combining strong linear movement with layered tonal washes. Executed as an Artist Proof, this print captures Krupa’s distinctive approach to form and rhythm, using gestural black and gray brushwork over structured, graphic linework. The interplay between fluid ink and geometric containment creates a sense of tension and introspection—hallmarks of Krupa’s exploration of human motion and emotional complexity.
The monochromatic palette emphasizes shape and balance, inviting the viewer to interpret the figures and their dynamic relationship. A Step Backward stands as a thoughtful reflection on movement, memory, and restraint, showcasing Krupa’s refined technique and expressive control.
