Figure Drawings (Pencil Drawings on Paper)

About the Item

I bought this as part of a portfolio of sketches by an obviously talented artist, but don't know the artist's name. These might be studio sketches as exercises, or preparation sketches for paintings. At any rate, the talent is there: check out the foreshortening and details of the man's leg - very difficult to accomplish. The page is rough, with a missing bit and some marks, but I think that gives it a nice antique look. Can be easily trimmed to remove the missing corner or to resize for a standard-sized ready-made frame.

Reader, oversize drawing of young woman reading, minimal color
By Audrey Anastasi
Located in Brooklyn, NY
This work was intentionally torn and mended. It predates the artist's full immersion, years later into torn and re-pasted collages, using ripped previous drawings and paper-based materials from media. These recently discovered 1984 oversize drawings on archival papers were created working quickly, from a live model. The series shows the last existing observational drawings prior to the artist's switch to working with her non- dominant left hand. As a feminist, Anastasi's main focus is presenting other women. Unlike the often objectified male gaze...
