Scheherazade 1986

Jacob Kainen’s 1986 pastel drawing “Scheherazade” is a vibrant abstract composition. The work is characterized by its use of bold colors and gestural lines, creating a sense of movement and energy. The artist's application of pastel creates a textural surface, adding depth and dimension to the artwork. Kainen's abstract style is rooted in a rich history of experimentation and exploration. The work evokes a sense of narrative and storytelling, perhaps referencing the tales of Scheherazade, a character from *One Thousand and One Nights.*
