Lamar Baker

Artist, American, 1908 - 1994

This is a drawing of a surreal scene involving a massive spool of thread. The drawing features two large figures, each holding and struggling with threads wrapped tightly around a colossal spool. The scene is set against a backdrop of a building with a small porch and chimney. Vibrant leaves in the foreground add an element of nature, intermingling with the manufactured elements. The drawing captures a dynamic interaction with the oversized elements.
