拍品专文


This drawing is closely related to the vignettes and ink illustrations Craxton made for Geoffrey Grigson’s anthology The Poet’s Eye (1944), specifically the drawings on pages 9 and 97 of rocks and trees together, and the lithograph between pages 26 and 27. This was just the kind of meeting of word and image that Freer enjoyed, and the pleasure he took in these Craxton purchases is easily imagined.
