On view now: Richard Pousette-Dart: 1930s, Rashid Johnson: Anxious Men, and Open Sessions 6. The exhibition is the first in-depth consideration of Richard Pousette-Dart’s drawings from the 1930s, a period when the artist pursued directly-carved sculpture, yet also painted, experimented with photography, and created numerous works on paper. There are also several series of drawings and studies that accumulate abstract and geometric forms as his interest transitioned to working with the “flatter” brasses—small sculptures meant to be worn as pendants or held in the hand. Throughout the 1930s, Pousette-Dart was most entranced by the work of Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, whose abstract sculptures, drawings, and forms in brass greatly informed the orientation of the young American artist. #TheDrawingCenter #RichardPousetteDart #drawing
