Elie Nadelman: American Drawings 1914-1946 November 27, 2012

An exhibition of drawings by Elie Nadelman -- stunning, never-before-shown works on paper created by the 20th Century master after he came to New York in 1914 -- will be on view at the June Kelly Gallery. The pen and inks, washes, and pencil sketches demonstrate Nadelman's preoccupation with the simplest of artistic elements, the curve. They also reflect his artistic innovations in pre-World War I Paris and his observations of American life and society after his arrival here. The drawings in the show will be accompanied by two small sculptures from the same period. All the work is from the artist's estate.
