CONTINENTAL DRAWINGS
 

Figurative or abstract, these basically monochrome drawings include Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Symbolist, Surrealist, Realist, Fantasy and other genres. Executed in pen and ink, brush and ink, pencil, crayon or other medium, they range from small, rapid, immediate sketches of first inspiration, to complete, finished, detailed subjects. Each, however, is a uniquely satisfying image, a direct link with the imagination of its creator.
