Scope and Contents

Copied pages from the artist’s 1930s sketchbooks. The originals can be found in the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art, with some also in this collection. Titles or descriptions of the copied works are listed below (Folder 1 holds copies with known titles, and Folder 2 holds copies with no known titles:

Untitled, colored copy of a print (material unknown, maybe watercolor) of two women sitting back to back. A second copy has a notation: "costume design for a Spanish Ballet Co. Fundraiser for Spanish Loyalist relief."

Untitled drawing of a boy slumped in a chair.

Untitled drawing of a [girl?] child’s head (maybe a photo or lithograph).

Untitled drawing of a sleeping and ill woman; largely incomprehensible writing on the back of one copy identifies her as “Mary [Annand?] Sinclair Barnet, Will Barnett’s first wife – ill with flu.”

Untitled drawing of a woman/girl? holding her hands up to her face.

Untitled drawing, possibly a lithograph, of three older women.

Untitled drawing, possibly in watercolor or oils, of multiple people lying on the ground.

Untitled drawings of an elderly, mustachioed gentleman, seated, wearing rumpled suit, vest and tie. Five separate views, one with the gentleman wearing a hat. One has a note that the original was a pencil drawing. One is with half of a malicious-looking face to his side (possibly for a different image).

Untitled/illegibly titled drawing of a man sleeping in a park (?) with a woman seated next to him, possibly reading.

Untitled pictures of a woman's torso, arms crossed over her lap, and holding a piece of cloth, needle and thread, and surrounded by a plant, a broom, a stove with a pot and a washboard. Appears to be a photocopy of woodcut Woman’s Tools (Lubell 200).

Untitled woodblock of a man lying in the recesses of grass while looking at his compass.
