NY Times Art & Design
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/15/arts/design/the-eye-is-part-of-the-mind-drawings-from-life-and-art-by-leo-steinberg.html
Scholar and historian Leo Steinberg, was honored by David Cohen and Graham Nickson after his
death with a tribute show that was made up of approximately 60 drawings that ranged
from ink, pencil, and charcoal done by Steinberg during the fifties throughout
the seventies. What drew my attention to
this was at first the mention that this show was being held for a deceased
member of the art community, but as I got to looking at his simplistic use of
lines to create some very powerful images of the human figure, I also enjoyed
that he kept his study to the human form whether it was a more detailed full
figure or just a quick sketch of a woman’s face or hand. Each piece of work seemed to be almost a life
like look into the past. The loss of
this great mind reminds me to make the best of everyday and to find the beauty
in the simplest of images in life.
