Lisa Smith, “Steve”, 1983, graphite drawing on
cartridge paper, 115 x 83.5 cm.
A drawing by
Lisa Smith, a former student from the early 1980s, has resurfaced, and it's
simply stunning. The nude portrait of
her partner, Steve, is a testament to her remarkable skill with pencil and the
large graphite sticks so popular back then. I vividly recall Steve visiting our studio for a haircut – a buzz cut,
then a dramatic bleaching to a striking golden blonde, culminating in a
playful, leopard-print black-dot dye job. The whole experience was a blast, and Steve's transformed hair was
undeniably cool; it perfectly captured the spirit of the times.
Condition: beyond
two closed tears midway on the left and right sides, the sheet is in an
excellent condition for its large size and age with no holes, folds, abrasions
or significant stains.
