Drawing, A Kind of Anguish

A drawing comprised of a series of unrelated objects more or less floating in space one above the other. This drawing had its origin about a month ago when I was reading the eBay rules and regulations and came across the novel idea that a title should not contain any “spam”. A spam title was a completely new concept for me and I got to thinking about what kind of drawing could have a title which would be a spam title. Perhaps a drawing that is just essentially a list of things someone might want to buy. So I started thinking about doing a drawing of a series of unrelated objects, but when one tries to create a series of unrelated things, the unconscious takes over and they all become related on a different plane. So my idea about spam disappears, the drawing becomes a remembrance of lost love and parting, the objects reflect “A Kind Of Anguish” instead.

This drawing was done outside, under a tree at Williams College at about !:00 P.M. on May 10 with an hb pencil on cream color paper. It measures 11.25” x 7.25”.
