Description
Harry Schwalb is the Dean of Pittsburgh Art Critics and an accomplished draughtsman. In this, his first 'installation', he creates a highly stylized version of the tiny space in his apartment where he executes his drawing. With zen-like concision, he outlines the fastidious process of his art and introduces hints of autobiography.
