In 1976, George Rodrigue created two oil sketches that each depict women in the middle of an activity. These sketches evoke the style of life drawings, which often show single figures in a moment of paused movement. Walking<\/em> is one of those two sketches and shows a woman mid-stride, one leg floating in the air. Walking<\/em> reflects Rodrigue\u2019s approach to drawing, a skill he honed while in art school, studying the work of Renaissance artists like Da Vinci and Michelangelo. This work marks a departure from the way Rodrigue depicted figures in his paintings from this time. In his paintings from the 1970s, the figures appeared flat on the canvas, as if frozen in space. But here, the figure appears active, as if she might step out of the canvas.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
