About the Item
Ink drawing on paper
Signed and dated lower margin
Description
This elegant sketch depicts a flutist poised in performance. The artist’s confident, linear technique captures the musician’s stance, the instrument’s delicate extension, and the quiet intensity of the moment. Subtle variations in line weight endow the figure with movement and naturalism.
Context
Legacy
Strauss often approached musicians as subjects, using their postures and gestures as a study in rhythm and balance. This work demonstrates her talent for revealing character and motion with minimal means.
Collector’s Note
A refined drawing that pairs beautifully with other music studies from the period, particularly Strauss’s complementary works from 1967.
BIO
Joan Strauss Carl was a Los Angeles artist, teacher, and humanitarian activist. She was a past president of the Los Angeles Art Association and has left a formidable body of her work and commissions in private collections, museums, and houses of worship. She was a prolific sculptor and painter. After studying art in Cleveland and at the Art Institute of Chicago, she traveled West. Her decision had proved smart as she quickly had six one-man shows and was consistently accepted in the very important invitational, juried exhibitions from San Francisco to San Diego. A quote from her exhibition: Joan Carl – One-Man Sculpture Show. “My work is my way of life. It is a constant search and examination and questioning of ideas as well as form and substance, and yet each new creation is a re-affirmation of respect and love of humanity and life.” Joan was represented by Paideia Gallery in Los Angeles and resided in Sherman Oaks, California for many years. As a sculptor, she worked in many mediums, including bronze, terracotta, stone, and wood
