Powerful Lines

L'azienda del campo, 1924, via Chaudron

For my second post dedicated to the Italian artist Duilio Cambellotti, I wanted to focus on his draughtsman's skill

and the beauty of his expressive line work, as shown in his illustrations, sketches, woodcuts, prints and ceramics.

In the near future I am planning to share some of his beautiful illustrations for the Arabian Nights 

and other striking colorful artworks.
