Retrospection over 'Hyphen' is a 1984 by Paul Neagu, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a mix of odd shoe designs and a strange wooden structure wedged into a rocky crack. The shoes are drawn in simple lines, some with pink soles, others more angular. On the right, a wooden frame shaped like a stretched "A" juts out from a textured stone wall, with handwritten notes around it. The notes talk about "Hyphen" and how it blends physical and abstract ideas. The shoes seem like early drafts, while the wooden piece looks like a later, more solid version of the same concept. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s playful sketches.
The sheet contains two drawings of Paul Neagu’s "hyphen" sculpture. The left drawing presents 15 variations of the sculpture, each dated between 1975 and 1992 and accompanied by the location of its exhibition. The right drawing overlays a "hyphen" sculpture onto a photograph of Stonehenge.
