Description
MILES DAVIS ORIGINAL SKETCH
Excellent, appealing original sketch, 13 1/2" x 16 1/2", executed by legendary jazz trumpeter MILES DAVIS (1926-1991) in red, green and black ink. The sketch depicts an abstracted human figure, very simply but evocatively constructed of swirls of color and line, with only the most basic aspects of the figure's facial features and anatomy represented. The sketch is matted in green and framed, and is unsigned, as were most of Davis's sketches, else fine. Davis began drawing and painting in earnest in 1980, during a period of recovery from addiction and other health issues. While largely overshadowed by his music during his lifetime, Davis's visual art was used for the covers of the albums "Star People" and "Amandla", as well as the backdrops for several of his live performances, and has seen gallery showings around the world in the years since the musician's death.
