WPA Era Charcoal Drawing of Modernist Figure at Desk

$150.00

Here we have a WPA era charcoal drawing of a Modernist figure straight out of a hardboiled Ridley Scott film. Blade Runner, Prometheus...you take your pick. Slick lines and shadowed half lights covering a boiling soul. The Max Headroom  will split a razor's edge. I can't get over the ominous shading throughout the centerpiece figure. Something's ready to go haywire, and I'm totally fine with it. Sometimes you just step aside and let the visual say the words. 

The vintage Modernist and Cubist style drawing came out of a Chicago estate. The piece is unsigned so we’re dealing with a mystery artist. I believe this piece was created in the late 1940s or early 1950s. 

The unframed artwork measures 16 1/2" tall by 13" wide. There is light surface patina throughout the artwork. On the reverse you will see the drawing is attached at the top with evidence of adhesive. This was how the piece was found. Please see all pics as they are part of the description. 

I ship FedEx to street addresses in the continental USA only (no PO boxes). Free shipping on the WPA era artwork. 

A cool vibe amongst the heavy shadows.
