1950
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Black & Lemon is a 1950 by William Gear, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows two rough, blocky shapes in black and yellow. The forms look like a face and a hand, but they’re not clear—just bold strokes with no details. The background is plain white, so the colors stand out. The artist used thick, uneven lines to make the shapes. It feels fast, like scribbles, but still balanced. The title *Black & Lemon* hints at the two main colors. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this drawing in person.
