Scope and Contents:

Lubell 2/5: 35

Ink drawing in the form of three loose sketches of what appear to be the same unknown object. Detail is not sparse, but the lack of a central element or context makes identifying the subject further largely fruitless. Verso has a pencil outline of the object. Drawn on illustration board. See also Lubell 39.

17.1 x 13.8 cm

Scope and Contents:

Lubell 2/5: 36

Ink over graphite pencil drawing (with gray wash and red watercolor). A branch of a magnolia tree. Detail is very sparse, and red wash is used only to partially and lightly color leaves and flowers (along with even less grey wash for one small part of the branch). Ink lines are similarly thin and break away near the corners of the piece.

Scope and Contents:

Lubell 2/5: 37

Ink drawing of a loosely-drawn harbor, with several different ships in the process of going to or from the sea. Details are added extremely loosely, and the less specific use of lines are somewhat similar in use to Impressionist work (for example, groups of small lines are used to show the large wooden poles below the water, while the thinner lines for the bird and rigging gives a sense of movement to the piece. Signed Milius.

Scope and Contents: Lubell 2/5: 38 Print of a pen and ink drawing of a field, framed from outside a broken wire fence. Level of detail is very high, with extensive line patterns on the (Bob White) birds’ feathers, pine trees and foreground plant life. Light and half-drawn background lines are used for the horizon, in contrast to the minutiae of the primary space. The drawing has been printed as a page in a 1978 calendar for Hyannis Co-operative Bank. Hyannis is a bank in Cape Cod, which is likely...

Scope and Contents: Lubell 2/5: 39 Multiple ink drawings of a cephalopod or plant entirely alien in nature and composition, appearing equal parts flora and fetal. It (assuming it is even a living creature and that the sketches are of the same entity) has a myriad of small tendrils covering its body, and one loose sketch shows it curled into a fetal position. Further description is made more adverse by the lack of any context or familiarity beyond in its form. Could be an attempt to show a young or...

Scope and Contents: Lubell 2/6: 41 Brown ink and wash drawing of an alien landscape. Most of the foreground is taken up by sweeping natural constructs, with a few jagged pieces (what appear to be broken tree trunks) near the bottom right corner. Watercolor is used as the coloring and shading, while loose ink lines – and in two cases, tentacle-like objects – break away from the rest of the piece. Taking the title literally, this appears to depict a world unspoiled by human presence – or much...

Scope and Contents: Lubell 2/6: 42 Ink drawing (with gouache) of a seed pod for an unknown plant. Outside of a dot pattern used for shading on the leaves, detail is fairly sparse. Some reddish orange is used for coloring, on both the flower of the pod and in a dot pattern right underneath. Art is very loose, with small, jagged edges and thinner, wavier lines. Signed Winifred Lubell. Piece was removed from matting and a photocopy of writing from the mat verso is included in the folder. ...

Lubell 2/6: 43

Graphite pencil drawing (with colored pencil) of a group of seed pods of the wisteria, with some seeds resting on the ground. Light pencil coloring (in green, bluish-grey, purple, and orange) for both the pods and their shadows give the subjects a subdued and softer look. Signed Winifred Lubell.

Scope and Contents: Lubell 2/7: 44 Ink drawing of an elaborate, meticulous representation of a lichen. While many branches on the lichen are drawn, and some parts (particularly near the bottom) are shaded, individual branches are somewhat Spartan in detail. Shading is done through both crossed lines and dot patterns, and there is no background or larger context. Signed Winifred Lubell. Piece was removed from matting and a photocopy of writing from the mat verso is included in the folder. ...

Scope and Contents: Lubell 2/7: 45 Brown ink and wash drawing of a large group of underwater lichen, with a variety of colors, shades, and styles for each plant. Some of the lichens are only drawn using lines to highlight their “hairs”, while another is drawn with cruder strokes that only show its segments. Crossed lines, dot patterns, and on some cases, uniform shading are used to distinguish space. Additionally, a seemingly unrelated series of lines can be seen on some parts of the piece, but...
