Life Drawing - Standing Female Nude - Drawing by Michael Burgess - 1978

1978

About the Item

Life Drawing: Standing Female Nude, Pen & Ink, with Wash on Watercolor Paper. (Early work) Life Drawing is as primordial as art itself. Often it is more of an exercise as opposed to an intentional, finished work. The use of Pen and Ink, with a Brush Wash, leaves a permanent record of our journey, warts and all. Much less forgiving than charcoal or graphite. It is one of the most honest mediums an artist can utilize, along with Watercolor. This drawing is an example of a 20-minute study, from the model, expressed with as much freedom and spontaneity as I could generate. It's somewhat of a lesson in humility, without any veils. When practiced often enough, it becomes the foundation for more sustained work. There is something very satisfying about an unrestrained approach to Life Drawing. In this case, a short sketch.

Lynn Chadwick (1914-2003) Title: Winged Figure Signed and dated 'Chadwick 68' (lower right) Pen, ink, watercolor and pencil on paper 19 1/8” x 25 3/8” (48.5 x 64.5 cm) Provenance: Sotheby's, London, 25 February 1987, lot 352; Alwin Galleries, London; Private Collection, U.K. Lynn Chadwick (British, born November 24, 1914–died April 25, 2003) found international recognition when he became the youngest person ever to win the Venice Biennale’s prized sculptor award.

After moving back to England, he worked for several architects in London during the 1930s. Working as an architectural draughtsman helped Chadwick to hone his drawing and compositional skills. After serving in the British army during World War II, Chadwick returned to the architectural business, this time working with famed architect, Rodney Thomas. While creating these transformative...
