This drawing is fairly simple but not as abstract as the two recent drawings. This one is more like Kirby or Bruce Timm than Matisse or non-Cubist Picasso
This drawing and yesterday reminds me of Matisse and Picasso’s non-cubist etchings. If I do say so myself/
This drawing is not at all
influenced by Picasso, except that it’s mostly blue in color (referencing Mr.
P’s Blue Period), and seems to be set in Africa (Cubism was heavily influenced
by African Art).
I
rather like it, though, looking at it a year later, it would have been better
without the shadow of the foliage that runs directly behind the black man’s
penis, thus making it almost unreadable. Or maybe that’s a good thing.
I don’t have much to say about this one. I drew it in
less than 10 minutes. I rather like it for it’s Picasso-esque whimsicality. I
drew it in ballpoint pen, no under drawing.
Another ballpoint pen
sketch, inspired by the previous day’s embossment. To see what I mean,
superimpose this drawing on that from October 3rd. Or take my word
for it.
Another
vaguely Picasso-esque drawing.
This was limned quickly,
with no preparatory under-drawing, using ballpoint pen. No corrections were
made; I left the “mistakes” as a signifier of spontaneity.
Unlike Tuesday’s posting of
a sketch made on September 29, 2012, I like this drawing’s crudity. It sort of
reminds me of Picasso’s post-cubist etchings, or of Matisse at his more
realistic.
I
speak of the artist who drew this almost as he were a person other than myself;
I didn’t really control what came out onto paper from the pen. My choice was in
accepting it as “good”.
Ride 'Em Cowboy
This is another Picasso-esque drawing.
I worked as a security guard at the Norman Simon Museum of Art, in Pasadena California (USA) for 2 years in the late 70’s and early 80’s. They had a huge selection of Picasso drawings from his post-cubist period. I really liked them for their simplicity and eroticism. Unfortunately, that sort of simplicity and abstraction seems to be beyond me.
Continental Breakfast 4
This drawing reminds me of Picasso, sort of. It’s not as simple as his illustrations for Lysistrata, but it’s sort of along those lines.
