PROVENANCE

---

fun fact:


digital description:
Lewis’s <em>Winter Branches #4</em> belongs to a series of drawings based upon black-and-white photographs of barren trees against the cloudless sky. The Harlem-based artist’s interest in landscape was further fueled by his study of Chinese painting, whose influences are readily seen in the spare calligraphic lines and brushwork characterizing this series.
