French Drawing by Bob Meyer: Dogs, Unframed

The dogs have gone nearly abstract. The teeth stayed.

Titled Dogs, this unframed charcoal on paper by Bob Meyer comes from France and is dated 1973. Large charcoal sheets like this give an artist room to draw from the shoulder, with the whole arm in the line. Black jagged shapes rise along the bottom edge and descend from the upper left like rows of teeth. Thin wandering lines tie them to a big open circle at the upper right, with a dark wedge inside. Creases run across the paper in both directions, and the corners and top edge are irregular. Forty-seven and a half inches wide, 34.5 high.

You supply the growl.
