e. e. cummings

American author and poet e. e. cummings was also a prolific visual artist. He illustrated his own auto-biographical novel, “The Enormous Room” (1922), which recalled his temporary imprisonment by French authorities during World War I. Cummings’s paintings, watercolors, and drawings cover a range of subjects and modernist styles, from impressionistic landscapes and portraits to studies of abstraction. “Dancer, Moon, Tree,” represents an exploration of figural representation through simple, gestural mark-making.
