Second World War Naval Battle, charcoal sketch

1940-1945

About the Item

Anonymous Naval Battle Charcoal sketch 34 x 46 cm Indistinctly inscribed to mount This striking charcoal sketch depicts a naval battle during the Second World War. It is a tumultuous scene, as bombs hit the water, making large splashes, planes fly overhead and naval vessels move through the water. The sketched nature of this drawing conveys the dynamism of the scene, everything moving at an accelerated past as the chaos of war unfurls.

Olive Grove with Hills in the Distance - Charcoal Drawing, Greek Island, Country
By George Tzannes
Located in New York, NY
This 17.5 x 35 inches black and white chalk drawing on paper represents a Greek landscape. Two olive trees are in the foreground, with the countryside extending behind in the distant horizon. Tzannes is an American painter of Greek origins. In his twenties, he visited Kythera, the Greek island of his father's birth. Since then, the island has become the primary reference of his creativity. Using black and white to represent this landscape gives the mighty hundred-year-old olive trees a monumental presence. The viewer is drawn into the timeless, spiritual quality of the Greek landscape. Despite the absence of color, Tzannes' mastery of drawing creates a tangible effect of the Greek light...
