About the Item
Jack Scott
"#13"
1980
Interwoven, continuous line charcoal drawing on paper
40"x30" unframed
Signed and dated in pencil on reverse
Now available for purchase, this is one of fifteen 40"x30" cross-hatch, charcoal drawings
on Strathmore paper, created in 1980-1981. The drawings are a dense
constellation of cross-hatch lines that undulate in light and dark, creating a
deep three dimensional quality, as if the forms are detached or floating on the
paper. Minimalist in style, these black and white drawings are powerful,
compelling images.
Very Good Condition - Minor wear consistent with age and history. Corners have wear.

About the work:
Working on large unstretched canvases, Jack Scott draws charcoal arcs in a freehand style. Through placement and density the arcs create patterns of light and dark, vibrating with a luminescence unanticipated by the rawness of the materials. In previous works the arcs coalesced into amorphous forms—romantic sensations suggesting clouds, smoke or fog. With his recent works Scott introduces a concrete graphic form, large bisecting arcs that are giant magnifications of the minutely rendered arcs. Environmental romanticism yields to a bolder sensibility, as these shapes bear relationship to configurations favored by Minimalists and hard-edge abstractionists. However, Scott’s web of soft, undulating arcs subverts the large-scale coolness of the primary form. In this sense the artist’s works remind one of Rothko, whose monumental forms were also conceived through a diffused or soft-edge development.
The method of building up freehand forms is remarkable considering the massive scale favored by the artist. From this standpoint his drawing seems imbued with a medieval intensity, displaying a feeling for concentration and handcraft that is often absent from contemporary art.
