Robert Barnes, Barbara Rossi, and Robert Lucy all work in a figurative mode, though each assumes a different and highly personal approach to the human form. They all have explored drawing’s expressive or narrative potential through unified cycles of drawings, ranging from four to eleven works.
The exhibition reunites ten drawings by Barnes that are based on Ezra Pound’s Cantos (1961). Also featured are Rossi’s series Very Rich Hims and Hers (1970) and Lucy’s suite Sea Fashions (2002–03).
