About the Item
In the 1950s and 60s Grambs worked on many commissions.
This ink drawing with a lobster, crab, and a shrimp, was probably for a cookbook; the sheet is cut in a free-form, modernist oval. Each of the 'critters' has been provided with something to chew on, play with, or poke at.
Grambs is so skilled that she makes them all beautiful without being cute or fussy.
We've made a point of showing the nick in the paper. If it was tacked down neatly it would hardly show.
