Untitled 1945

This untitled image was made with graphite on paper by W. J. Sewell, who was born in 1940. The child-artist likely created this drawing at the tender age of 5. Sewell's piece invites us to consider the world through the eyes of a child. The figures in the drawing, intertwined in what appears to be an embrace, challenge conventional representations of form and perspective. The naivety of the line-work allows for an authentic portrayal of human connection, free from societal constraints and expectations. The artist's innocent viewpoint reminds us of the profound simplicity of love and closeness. It is a window into the emotional landscape of a child. Sewell’s image reflects the universal human need for connection, unfiltered by adult complications.
