What I like about all of the artists you have highlighted here is that, despite any personal artistic direction these artists may want to take in order to express their vision, they all demonstrate that they have learned the fundamentals of drawing and painting. From this base, they have stepped forward and are able to explore new ground without the shackles of technical insecurities. I do prefer, however, Anthony’s work in the first gallery rather than the second; they are more finished and because of this indicate (at least to me) a more complete artist’s statement.

I immediately think of sketches by Käthe Kollwitz. If you thought her work dropped you down to a lower level, you’ll fall like a rock when you read her letters.
