Trogir 1968

Red Grooms's "Trogir" (1968) is a pen and ink drawing that depicts a bird's-eye view of the Croatian town. The artwork features a detailed, almost architectural, rendering of the rooftops and buildings. The composition is dominated by the intricate patterns of the tiled roofs, with the occasional chimney or window offering glimpses into the lives of the town's residents. Grooms was known for his use of bold lines and bright colors, but in this drawing, he uses subtle shading and a limited color palette to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. This work exemplifies Grooms's artistic interest in urban landscapes and his ability to capture the essence of a place through line and form.
