"Study for Poster Portrait: 'I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold'" is a preparatory work by American modernist painter Charles Demuth, created as part of his series of poster portraits that pay homage to his contemporaries in the arts. This particular study is a precursor to one of Demuth's most famous works, "I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold" (1928), which itself is a visual tribute to his friend, the poet William Carlos Williams, and his poem "The Great Figure." Demuth's study captures the essence of the final piece, characterized by its use of the number five, bold geometric forms, and the integration of text and image, which were hallmarks of the Precisionist movement.

The study, like the final painting, employs a dynamic composition that reflects the energy and movement described in Williams's poem, which recounts the sight of a fire engine racing through the streets of New York City. The number five is prominently featured, rendered in a striking gold hue that dominates the canvas, symbolizing the golden figure Williams saw. The use of sharp angles, overlapping planes, and a limited color palette in the study demonstrates Demuth's interest in synthesizing abstraction with representational elements, a technique that would be fully realized in the completed work.

As a study, this piece offers insight into Demuth's artistic process and the development of his ideas from initial conception to finished artwork. It is an important artifact for understanding the relationship between literature and visual art in the early 20th century, as well as the cross-pollination of ideas among the avant-garde community. "Study for Poster Portrait: 'I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold'" not only serves as a testament to Demuth's innovative approach to portraiture but also stands as a significant contribution to the American modernist canon, reflecting the era's fascination with industrialization, urban life, and the search for a distinctly American artistic expression.
