Jack’s comments on the one and below parallel my own and are very well expressed. Likewise Adam’s remarks. This is quite an extraordinary drawing, what I might call a “drawer’s drawing” (like when we speak about an “actor’s actor”). It’s so much about the inside game of drawing, about mark-making, and planes, and a meditation on seeing. And at the same time a very telling and convincing portrait of an individual. And so solid and self-assured.<\/p>\n

When I teach portrait drawing\u00a0 I make a big point about the importance of attire, and this is a textbook example. Love the way the sweep of that scarf (?) frames the portrait. Then something about that far arm being just an outline.<\/p>\n

As enthusiastic as I am about the one above it (and\u00a0 by the way, not so terribly much about the 2 first ones), this one is next level. I don’t take it to be unfinished at all. Jack says it best: “It\u2019s almost like you can see the model thinking and feeling in real time, not yet having reached any conclusions. This visual uncertainty seems like a fitting parallel to the uncertainty of covid times.”<\/p>\n

It reminds me of an artist that I think you would like, R.B Kitaj.<\/p>\n
