This series consists of early figure studies. They were done purely as exercise, not as part of a body of work. When I later began to explore deeper themes, the figure became my primary subject. These studies display the efficient style that would define much of my subsequent work.
​
In cases where a work did not perfectly fit the themes of a series, I placed that work according to date. I placed these less related works at the bottom of the page.
