Field Study #725

Terrell James · 2018 · oil on wove paper ·  Accession ID  2021.82.1

The image consists of looping and swirling lines that form shapes resembling curves and spirals, creating movement across the canvas. Some lines twist and turn, similar to a coiled spring or the tendrils of a vine. Various shapes scattered throughout the image suggest organic growth, like pebbles or stones on a curving path. The composition evokes fluid forms found in nature.

Growing Pearls

Joseph Havel · 1993 · graphite on paper ·  Accession ID  2020.166.1

This image features a large vertical rectangle with thin, uneven lines to create a weathered texture. It contains two skeletal figures with exaggerated ribcages, one positioned above the other within a casket-like shape. The abstract composition of the image hints at elements of an old, worn tombstone or coffin with a skeletal figure donning a small hat, while the lower portion features another skull encased in a similar setting. Surrounding this central figure are disorganized shapes, with jumbled letters on the left resembling an incomplete or fragmented letterpress and hand signs on the right that appear like an abstract representation of communication methods. At the bottom, two simplified stick figures stand off to the side.
