Drawings - Hardcover
Dust jacket notes: "The notion that Art enlarges the world for the eye is delightfully proved in these [67] pen and ink drawings by Eugene Ludins. Through his delicate mastery of line, his use of surprising black blotches and fresh washes, through his subtle design we see ourselves reviewed. Surrounded by tortured, tantalized, and beloved animals, here is Man: Man the Huddler, shoved, pounded cuddled, and entwined yet still pursuing with extraordinary oblivion his private passions. Ludins's specifics are in the delicate details, an ignored flowerpot with its persistent cactus, a young girl's extended fingers being nibbled by an equally shy gazelle-like creature. Nonetheless, in these small drawings, almost hidden from us by the smile of the artist, the basics of life are tenderly touched upon. The harsh chopping style that attends 'The Putsch;' the lyrical line that celebrates a wry delight in love's antics; youth, age, love, war- no subject is too large for this artist unafraid to remind us of our inhuman humanity."
