Untitled c. 1969

George Bunker made this untitled drawing with graphite on paper, and it's an intriguing peek into his process. I imagine him outside, maybe in a wooded area, quickly trying to capture the essence of the trees and the way light filters through the branches. You can almost feel the energy of his hand moving across the paper. The lines are loose and gestural, not trying to be too precise, but instead, conveying a sense of immediacy. There’s a real sensitivity here, a kind of shorthand for seeing. It reminds me of other artists who use drawing as a way to think through form and space. This piece feels like a moment of discovery, a fleeting impression translated into a visual language. It’s like he’s in conversation with the landscape, and we get to eavesdrop.
