1979 · Cut, torn and pasted printed papers and graphite on cardboard · Modern and Contemporary Art

This work incorporates cut and torn papers in an abstract arrangement. The small size of this collage is typical of Horton’s work: the artist’s penchant for creating intimately-scaled artworks was derived in part from their origins in his personal diaries. Horton, who worked both as an artist and a lawyer, also experimented with photography and created delicate, layered abstract paintings on paper until his early death at age 35.
