Heinrich Kley (1863 - c.1945)from Skizzenbuch II, 1910.

Because of computer problems, I am unable to post any of my own drawings at the moment; however, I can give you this drawing by one of my favourite artists, Heinrich Kley. Kley's drawings are wonderful.

It is hard to think of another artist who drew with such facility. We'll never know how much work went into these seemingly facile drawings, since only the outline of Kley's life is known.

If you are not familiar with Kley's drawings, check www.heinrich-kley.com from Coconino Classics.This site seems to have the most complete collection of his drawings. Donald Weeks' introduction to a 1968 Borden book, The Art of Heinrich Kley, seems to be the biography all Kley sites use. The most complete quotation of the Week introduction is at www.bpib.com
