James Bone Nude on a Wicker Recliner Drawing on Collage, 1998 vintage sensu While one of these days

While one of these days I vow to try my hand at woodworking

dating to the 1950s or so I believe

James Bone Nude on a Wicker Recliner Drawing on Collage, 1998 vintage sensu While one of these daysI just snagged a handful of pieces by James Frederic Bone (1929 2015), the prolific and endlessly inventive Chicago artist who made this piece, and another in a similar manner listed separately. (+ more of his work to be posted shortly).

To me, the best drawings seem effortless,
