Derek Hirst made drawings of everyday places in the 1960s Britain. In 1963 he created a graphite sheet called Suburb that shows a quiet street corner with parked cars and brick walls. The work belongs to a loose tradition of British line work that favored plain scenes over dramatic subjects. Tap Suburb to zoom into its sharp angles and soft shadows.
