Avant-Garde (The Patteran Society) 1950

"Avant-Garde (The Patteran Society)" is a 1950 pencil drawing by American artist Cooper Nott Lansing (1910-1992). The drawing depicts a lively gathering of people, likely members of the Patteran Society, an avant-garde arts organization. It captures the energy and intellectualism of the artistic community, with figures engaged in conversation, gestures, and artistic pursuits. The drawing's composition, with its crowded arrangement of figures and objects, creates a sense of movement and dynamism.
