Drawing 7

1949

18 3/4 x 23 13/16 in.

Pen and ink

This is a drawing created by Louis before he really entered the world of painting. Louis’ drawings weren’t very popular when it came to being included in art shows and being shown in galleries however Louis still drew everyday and was constantly creating art even when he had a lack of inspiration.

This is one of Louis’ early drawings. This piece resembles the work of an artist Louis had always admired, Max Beckmann. Louis tended to always cover his paper as much as he could when he would draw.
