V251 Visages in Conversation
36x48” pastels on primed paper
private collection
June 14, 1998: I started another sketch, this one very large, on one of the primed sheets of paper, 3 x 4 feet. It is a conversation among Visages, a commentary on the other night's socializing, I suppose. I put the dog in, as a welcome distraction.
June 16, 1998: Working on V251, I fell quickly into the flow of the characters' gestures and expressions, and the interaction of the bodies. There is an evident V shape between the talkers and the listener. The bounding dog seems to say, "Let's get out of here." Life beyond socializing.
