Study for Wartime Evacuation
Dean Cornwell
Pencil and conté crayon on paper.
I was initially drawn to this piece by its incompleteness. I love pieces that look like they're half way though production because it allows one to see the process and effort that an artist undertakes and exerts in making a piece, respectively.
The bold use of organic lines in this piece really make the faces come alive, to become almost caricaturesque figures.
The colors of the faces make the old men bring them to life, and it makes them more important than the colorless figures. The colorless figures look like they could be memories.
ReplyDeleteThese lines have movement and energy. Also their variety thickness make it very interesting.
