Dragger (Study for Trash) 1971

"Dragger (Study for Trash)" is a 1971 painting by American artist Benny Andrews. The painting depicts a single figure in a dynamic pose, wearing striped pants. The figure's shadow stretches across the canvas. The painting is a study for a larger work titled "Trash," and the figure in the smaller work serves as an exploration of movement and form. Andrews, known for his focus on African American experiences, utilizes bold brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and energy in this dynamic composition.
