Michael Trekur's 1935 drawing, "Basket," is a detailed pencil and charcoal study of a woven basket. The artist was known for his depictions of Native American crafts and artifacts. This drawing highlights the intricate geometric patterns and the skilled craftsmanship of the basket. The stark contrast between the light background and the dark lines of the basket creates a sense of depth and emphasizes the intricate design. Trekur's work is appreciated for its realism and its focus on cultural heritage.
