Morris GravesTWO BIRDS
About the Item
Graves, Morris (American 1910-2001). TWO BIRDS. Brown Ink on tan
paper, not dated. Although signed in pencil, lower right, the signature proved fugitive during conservation and was lost. C. 18 X 24 inches.
Highly simplified and abstracted forms on a large open field of tan paper, producing an
effect which is both powerful and funny at the same time.
Graves produced a large number of these bird form drawings and sketches on this same thin wrapping paper, which becomes brittle with age. There are a few small breaks at the sheet edges, with the whole sheet stabilized with japanese tissue for support.
