chap 6 Artist reviews : Gary Simmons

Gary Simmons created his work on large walls like Sol Le Witt and Paul Noble. But Simmons's drawing were not based on scales or instructions. Simmons inspirations are of childhood and adolescence and used a large blackboard and chalk for his drawings. The drawing Boom is of an exploding cloud with lines and shading curves that draws your eyes around the whole board. Simmons's Drawing is more fee and dream like than the more structural drawings of Le Witt and Noble.
