This page from Drawing Papers 101 features a mixed media drawing titled Patti Smith,Babel; Patti Smith, The Coral Sea created by José AntonioSuárez Londoño in 2009.
The 2012 exhibition, José Antonio Suárez Londoño: The Yearbooks, celebrated Londoño’s fifteen year old daily drawing practice, based on a book that he reads over the course of a year. Collected in his notebooks (often called yearbooks,) Londoño applies a straight-forward regime: Take a text, find a passage of inspiration, and make a drawing every day. The results are anything but predictable, and his 65 notebooks containing more than 5,000 drawings highlight his endless pool of creativity, referencing sources ranging from the diaries of Klee, Kafka, and Deacroix; Ovid’s Metamorphosis; and the poems of Blaise Cendrars, Arthur Rimbaud, and Patti Smith.
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 101, click here.

This page from Drawing Papers 50 features a tantra drawing by an anonymous artist made with gouache, watercolor, and tempera on paper.
The exhibition Field of Color: Tantra Drawings from India brought together 30 works on paper from the Northeastern Indian state of Rajasthan. The drawings were originally intended to serve as meditation aids for followers of the Tantric school of Hinduism. They reflect the highly symbolic worldview of Tantrism, using color to help the viewer achieve a heightened state of enlightenment.

On page 21 from Drawing Papers 75 you will find pinch, drawn with pencil on paper by Kate Smith in 2006. Smith was part of the Selections Spring 2008 exhibition, curated by Nina Katchadourian, featuring a small group of artists from the Viewing Program.
Smith’s work examines the marks and imprints left from physical contact with a surface. To create this drawing, Smith applied inked hands that ‘pinched’ a tissue paper surface and then magnified and analyzed the resulting marks through drawing.

This page from Drawing Papers 71 features Rock 18, drawn with charcoal and pastel on paper by Howard Rosenthal in 2003.
Rosenthal’s work was part of a Viewing Program group show called Non-Declarative Art, curated by Luis Camnitzer in 2007. The intention of the show was to gather a group of drawing-based artists who were intelligently exploring the non-emission or the minimization of information. Rosenthal’s simple but exquisite rendering of a rock is both transcendent and elusive.
