Evocative 1960s Peter Passuntino Ink on Paper Drawing of Two Figures curled splint basket 7 3/8" t x 2

7 3/8" t x 2 1/2" w x 1 5/8" d and in very good condition

was certainly done about the same time

on the reverse side of the page

especially pronounced on the interior of the basket where their original saturation is preserved

as they house a bell that chimes between them as they roll--look pretty ancient too

Evocative 1960s Peter Passuntino Ink on Paper Drawing of Two Figures curled splint basket 7 3/8" t x 2I find this quite a strong and affecting drawing, one of a handful I've purchased by artist Peter Passuntino (b. Chicago, 1936) dating the 1960s. I find his drawings quite potent; ambiguous but highly charged, seeming to portray psychological states as well as interpersonal dynamics, including exertions of power and expressions of vulnerability and feeling pretty archetypal as they do. Unsigned and undated, but I know from others in the group c. late
