DescriptionThough he worked in many mediums, and is perhaps best remembered for his propaganda posters, James Montgomery Flagg was a true master of pen and ink. Quick Lunch demonstrates his facility in every way. Each stroke is necessary and masterfully placed-the directional quality, line weight, weight of intervals-all come together in a perfect union of gesture and description that is often imitated but rarely equaled. The deceptive simplicity and grace of Flagg's breezy ink style allows a viewer to become completely lost in the story.On View
