Untitled c. 1969

George Bunker made this untitled drawing with ink on paper sometime in the 20th century. The landscape is a jumble of bold marks which at first seem chaotic, yet they evoke the primal essence of nature. Note the use of vertical lines to suggest trees; a motif that echoes across epochs. Think of the Tree of Life in ancient mythologies, connecting the earthly and divine realms. Even in modern art, the tree persists as a symbol of growth, resilience, and the interconnectedness of all things. The subconscious mind recognizes patterns, associating them with deeply ingrained cultural memories. This image stirs an emotional response, a sense of being grounded yet also longing for transcendence. Each stroke of ink captures a sense of nature's enduring power and the cyclical rhythms of life. These lines carry within them the weight of history.
