Start Over Collection John McHale archive, 1950-1978

Notes on paintings and drawings

The majority of these drawings are probably preliminary sketches to the larger fiber-tip pen/poster paint drawings in the collection, although a few drawings from this collection of sketches seem to be unrelated. The ball point pen drawings in this series are revisions of earlier graphite sketches. There is also a drawing which is derived from a magazine tear-sheet in Palette #2; in the subsequent sketch the design is further abstracted and reintegrated back into a 'Head' composed of pre-Columbian motifs.
