Untitled [Double-Sided Work]

1939

This dynamic sketch sheet features abstracted figural and compositional studies rendered in blue and orange ink on paper.

The upper section presents more refined linear studies, while the lower portion contains densely layered marks and gestural marks characteristic of the artist's exploratory drawing practice. The work exemplifies the artist's experimental approach to form and movement, bridging figuration and abstraction during the late 1930s.
