Well, after lamenting the advent of abstract expressionism, I was thrilled to come across the show by Markus Lüpertz @hirshhorn that does not cast aside figurative painting entirely.

A fun afternoon of sketching from different live set ups at the Washington Studio School. Once a year they set up scenarios on each floor and students and the public are invited to draw! This one is charcoal and graphite on paper.
