R.B. Kitaj #6

"R.B. Kitaj began his paintings with drawing. An integral part of his practice, the presence of drawing became increasingly apparent in his later works.

We get a glimpse into Kitaj’s process in the painting Los Angeles No. 24 (Nose to Nose), 2003. Viewing the work in stages, the line remains constant throughout the painting’s progression, even while layers of color build on the surface."
