Study for "The X" 1978

This minimalist drawing, "Study for 'The X'," by Ronald Bladen is a study for a larger sculptural work. Created in 1978, it showcases Bladen's characteristic interest in geometric forms, specifically the construction of the letter "X." The simple lines of the drawing, rendered in pencil on paper, give a sense of depth and weight to the form, creating a stark, elegant composition. The work is a study in geometric abstraction, exploring the interplay of lines and form in a precise, calculated manner.
