Adobe Ruins c. 1940

"Adobe Ruins" is a graphite drawing created by Jenne Magafan, an American artist, circa 1940. The drawing depicts a close-up view of a crumbling adobe building, with a focus on the structure's weathered brickwork and the remnants of a wooden beam that once supported the roof. The artist's use of dark lines and shadows creates a sense of depth and decay, highlighting the passage of time and the enduring presence of the past. Magafan's drawing offers a glimpse into the history and architecture of the American Southwest.
