Notes
Eugene Labuschagne taught himself the major developments in art history by visiting art galleries in Paris and then by doing his own sketches. He always believed that Cubism was the single most important development in 20th century art. He did several "cubist" sketches of his wife, Lydia. He started off with a fairly straightforward representational drawing, which he modified in a series of sketches to teach himself what the Cubists were doing.
He did not sign these sketches because he was not a Cubist. This one bears a studio stamp signature and was done in about 1948.
