Modern Drawings: The Karshan Gift
Beautiful exhibition at Courtauld Gallery of late 19th and 20th century drawings given to
the gallery by the artist Linda Karshan in memory of her husband, Howard.
The gift is of 24 works ranging from Cezanne to contemporary artists. The Cezanne was a beautiful still life of a jug. There was a brutal Otto Dix drawing called “Lament” from 1915 of mourning women which was scored into the paper.
The most interesting section was the contemporary and more modern artists including three Philiip Guston’s, a minimal Cy Twombly and this lovely Wayne Thebald of cake from 1963. I love the way the blank space is as important as the black.
Closes 9 January 2022
