Comment: Judith Clancy (1933-1990) drew wherever she went, personally and professionally. Professionally, her work appeared regularly in publications like The New Yorker, Gourmet, and Architectural Digest; personally, she left behind over eighty sketchbooks. Drawings are notable, particularly personal ones, particularly sketchbooks, because of their quick, spontaneous, and intimate aspects-- they're as close as art comes to journal or diary writing. The Charles Campell show is presented on the occasion of "Observations Of The Spirit: The Sketchbooks of Judith Clancy, 1950 ­ 1990," an exhibition of over twenty of Clancy's sketchbooks, at The Legion of Honor between 9.18.04 and 1.16.05.
