The drawings in this collection include some of Sam Hanchett's finest abstract portraits and figure studies, as well as film stills and music related art.
Though sometimes stark, they have the spark and radiance of flashing perception. Some are bone-bare elegant; others are thickly lined. Every particle of color has electric authenticity. Every stroke limns the drama of human personality, the journey of the soul.
