Drawing, Study of a Bust
This is a Drawing. It was designed by E. McKnight Kauffer. It is dated 1911 and we acquired it in 1963. Its medium is black crayon on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Kauffer’s formal artistic study began at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art in San Francisco. He likely drew this realistic sketch from a plaster or stone model during class in 1911. Kauffer continued his coursework at the Art Institute of Chicago the following year. While in Chicago he also attended the Armory Show, which introduced him to modernist European art.
