About this work

This drawing shows two studies of a couple on paper. The left one has them pressed close, foreheads touching. The right one has them side by side, linked by a single line. Mylona often drew couples to show touch and closeness. She borrowed Brancusi’s simple shapes here. The lines feel soft, like the figures are melting together. Want to see more like this?
