(Small sketchbook)
Morris Atkinson Blackburn
Mostly very rough figural sketches with some still lives and abstractions that include one notable abstract color study. There is also a short journal entry about a talk he gave at the Pennsylvania Academy on 1/10/58 about sizing in painting as it relates to foreshortening in drawing in which he sites a Roger Van der Weyden painting as an example.
