Artopolis 2008 - The Drawings

Giacomo Manzu (1908-1991)


Here are my favorite drawings from the show,
and I guess it's no surprise
that the people who drew them
were born around a hundred years ago.

The above is a very large drawing,
by a very great sculptor,
and it made me shout when I saw it.







Georg Kolbe (?)







Max Beckmann (1884-1950)

Rather explicit,
but can sex between old people
ever be pornographic?

It's
more like endearing.



Hong Purme

I found very little Asian brush painting
in this show
(apparently there was a gallery of it,
but I missed it)


I sure liked the work of this
young Korean woman, though.






Hong Purume


even down to the detail areas,
everything feels majestic - cosmic.


More of her work
can be found
here



Wilhelm Lehmbruck (1881-1918)


Here's another great sculptor.


I've never seen his drawings before,
but I think I've been trying to imitate his style
for many years.
