8 Sketchbooks

Gary  Baseman

Drawings in commercially-bound blank books
8 3/4 x 5 3/4 in

Mr. Baseman works in two very different, equally masterful approaches. The first, and most widely familiar, is a spirited world of big-nosed people with rubbery limbs and animals who may strike you as human in many ways. [ . . . ] More challenging to the viewer and personal to the artist is a second, distinctly gritty body of work executed in acrylic paint, often on a surface of kraft paperboard. -- Pam Sommers, The Illustration Gallery
