On view now: Richard Pousette-Dart: 1930s
This is first in-depth museum consideration of 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. “Pousette-Dart’s drawings indicate his direct observation and analysis of African, Oceanic, and Native American art first hand at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. While he rarely closely copied what Joanne Kuebler described as the “ancient geometric forms”* in this art, his drawings reflect an appreciation of their ability to conjure power, belief, and mystery.”-from Lowery Stokes Sims' Drawing Center catalog essay *Joanne Kuebler, “Richard Pousette-Dart,” in Robert Hobbs and Joanne Kuebler, eds., Richard Pousette-Dart (Indianapolis, IN: Indianapolis Museum of Art, 1990), 84.
