I have been at work digging up more beautiful figurative works for you. Most of these are from retail Galleries and a few are in public or private collections. Just a short note about the drawing directly below. What a shame that beautiful work of art was neglected so badly but the good news is with enough money and a little time it could be restored by a good paper conservationist. The drawing is part of the Cohen Library Archives and Special Collections, CCNY, New York, N.Y. The description indicated it is a lithograph but I suspect it is an original academic drawing. That model youth is the very definition of the Greek ideal of "
the Ephebe", that mystical existence between man and boy, including that cherished of all ancient male Greek possessions: the "
akroposthion."
