Ronald E. Balfour

Ronald E. Balfour kept his head down and his lines clean. You’ll spot his work by the quiet precision, thin ink lines that build up to strange, airy shapes, like a spider sketching a dream. He made Pas Fantastique around 1910, a drawing that feels like a stage set for something just out of frame.

Slide into Balfour’s world through that single sheet; once you see how a few careful marks can hold so much space, you’ll start hunting for the next one.
