Give me a few years


Later on, after years in college spent studying something else, I returned to art. Here's my version of the model in the studio. I was about 25 when I made this drawing.
Unlike Judd's mine is not a cliched version of School of Paris, but a drawing that already manifests visual ideas that I would explore afterwards. My model sits upright, holds a book, seems like a person who actually exists and who has a reason for being portrayed: she's beautiful, not as a type, but as a human being.
