Lyonel Feininger: "The Ghosties"
View through Artsy
“I packed up my drawing materials this morning, my suitcase is closed and I have not now the resource—the never-failing one—of making a few crazy little ghosties on paper and putting bright colors on the lines. All the long evenings I have been creating demons, pixies, ‘Mysterious Petes,’ and lantern-jowled professors, to pass the hours before one can call it decently ‘a day’ and creep into bed at ten o’clock.”
