About the Item

Hailing from Liège and Brussels, with a background in the Académie des Beaux-Arts, Leon Collard (1916-2011) painted this abstract woman on handmade paper with ink and acrylic. Utilizing negative space, Leon captures the viewer's eye by adding varying weights to each brushstroke, thereby giving depth to portraits while simultaneously rendering them with soft, organic lines. Less really is more, and Leon exemplifies this with his use of negative space and high contrast. This piece was created between 1980 and 1990, following his move to Chicago in 1951, where he spent three years at the Art Institute of Chicago. I added the matching drawing picture. If you buy both, the shipping will be divided almost in half.

"Mighty Resignation" Black and White Contemporary Drawing by Mac Mechem
Located in Pasadena, CA
This Mac Mechem's drawing features a seated nude man draped in a small loincloth. Sitting in a wood-crafted chair, his gaze fixed downward as though he were brooding over some bad news. Despite the defeatist posture, his physique radiates a stark contrast—the sculpted body exudes strength and athleticism through pronounced abdominal lines, robust thighs, and defined biceps. Both hands rest passively on his knees, amplifying the sense of resignation portrayed in the artwork. The artist signed in the lower right part of the artwork. Mac Mechem, a figurative contemporary painter...
