Gallery: One-Point
Perspectives (continued)
In this arresting drawing, Eder has used the full tonal range of the medium, from white to black, to create an image with a
strong visual impact. The chair seats are drawn in one-point perspective, but the compositional element is directed by the
pattern of shapes of light and shadow. The mysterious red lines seem to be incongruous at first glance but in fact give a visual
strength and added structure to the drawing.
