Theodore Roszak

Sketches for Sculpture
1939

An abstract drawing featuring a variety of geometric and biomorphic shapes, lines, and forms that create a sense of movement and depth. The artwork includes elements that resemble towers, eyes, and faces, with a mix of darker and lighter areas, and a prominent yellowish-brown patch in the center. The piece is framed and has a sketch-like quality with visible pencil or charcoal strokes.
