Howard Hansen Conducting 1939

"Howard Hansen Conducting" is a 1939 ink and wash drawing by Donald Carlisle Greason, a well-known artist who lived from 1897 to 1981. The drawing, measuring 24.5 x 29.1 cm, features a quick sketch of a conductor, likely Howard Hansen, in mid-performance. The minimal details and loose lines of the drawing capture a fleeting moment of movement and energy, characteristic of Greason's artistic style. This piece, created at the height of Greason's career, exemplifies his ability to depict dynamic figures with expressive brushstrokes and subtle washes of ink.
