The visual inspiration of Benjamin L Levy

[benjaminllevy]

Now, today you have a situation where everybody says, oh photography, no problem, I love it. What used to be called the painting and sculpture people, they are in principle totally sympathetic to photography, but they still haven’t learned how to look at photographs. And so in a way it’s worse for photographic traditions, for traditions that are rooted in the use of photography as a way of going out and engaging and exploring the world, developing a real point of view about it that’s expressed in the pictures, not in the caption underneath. That tradition I think still continues to suffer.

A Page from the Drawing Papers Archive

This page from Drawing Papers 29 features Tablet 65, made by Ellsworth Kelly in 1960.

The 2002 exhibition Ellsworth Kelly, Tablet: 1949–1973 presented 180 fascinating never before seen drawings by the major contemporary artist Ellsworth Kelly. The artist selected 188 of his working drawings to be included in the exhibition, which was curated by Yve-Alain Bois. Generated by an aesthetic of found object, the group includes drawings and notes that Kelly executed on scraps of paper – newspaper cuttings, letters, wrappers, photographs and so on. For almost 30 years, the sheets assembling the informal studies and cutouts were set aside as working drawings, but, once discovered, they provide insight into the artist’s creative processes and his most personal inspirations.

The Drawing Papers are a series of publications documenting The Drawing Center’s exhibitions and public programs and providing a forum for the study of drawing. For more information about Drawing Papers 29, click here.
