EVA HESSE OBERLIN DRAWINGS

Hesses drawings played a crucial role in her work, which in turn gave way to an array of highly innovative techniques and styles th at today still defy classification. As she commented in 1970: I had a great deal of difficulty with painting but never with drawing ... the translation or transference to a large scale and in painting was always tedious.... So I started working in relief and with line. Hesses custom of introducing sculptural materials into drawing and painting continues to influence artmaking today.
