Default Drawings of Martín Ramírez - NY Times and Web surf

Dear ArtConversation Vistors

Some of you may be interested in the drawings of Martín Ramírez (1895–1963).

See "Outside In" by Roberta Smith
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/design/index.html
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/26/ar...tml?ref=design
"Ramírez, who created the roughly 300 drawings that make up his known
work between 1948 and 1963 while confined to a mental hospital in
Northern California, is simply one of the greatest artists of the 20th
century."

"Martín Ramírez" continues through April 29 at the American Folk Art
Museum, 45 West 53rd Street, Manhattan. It will also be seen at the
Milwaukee Art Museum, Oct. 6 through Jan. 6, 2008.

Characteristic of his work is the frame-like border created with line.

Enjoy the surf.
