Kurt Vonnegut described his artwork as a pursuit that liberated him from the oppressive work of writing. See 10 of his drawings, which date mostly from 1985 to 1987.
In “Fates Worse Than Death,” he wrote, “My own means of making a living is essentially clerical, and hence tedious and constipating.… The making of pictures is to writing what laughing gas is to the Asian influenza.”, out next month, features a hundred and forty-five of Vonnegut’s drawings, selected by his daughter Nanette Vonnegut, a visual artist, who received two shipments of her father’s artwork in the mid-nineties, and had kept them in storage until now.
Drawn with colorful markers and black pen, and influenced by the Cubists as well as by artists from Joan Miró to Alexander Calder, the pieces—which date mostly from 1985 to 1987—include self-portraits, abstract faces and nudes, geometric still-lifes, and swirling line drawings; many convey the same absurdist humor that characterized Vonnegut’s fiction.
