Drawing in the dark

By Sol Schwartz

Subjects: Music in art, American Drawing, Art and music

Description: “Live musical performance is ephemeral. It often feels as ephemeral as life itself….In his drawings of musicians, Sol Schwartz has achieved something amazing and marvelous of his own: he has over and over again described the moments of intense concentration, of communication, of effort, and of unselfconsciousness that we, as performers, experience.” -Joel Smirnoff, Juilliard String Quartet
