Drawing 2 (after Delacroix/Raphaël)
2019
A meticulously rendered work on translucent polyester film, Glenn Brown's *Drawing 2 (after Delacroix/Raphaël)* layers his signature approach to appropriation, reinterpreting the gestural energy of Old Master sources through a cool, unsettling precision. The acrylic medium lends the surface a strange, almost frozen luminosity, suspending the borrowed imagery between reverence and detachment. Presented in the artist's own frame, the work extends Brown's ongoing interrogation of authorship, originality, and the seductive power of art historical legacy.
