Old Couple (1980)

"The concept of two people drawn as a separate drawing, but yet complementing each other, is relatively complex on single lithographic stone. There is no room for creative error. Unlike a complete drawing which has a background to help tie different elements together, when drawing on the lithographic stones, corrections are virtually impossible. I like to think that a drawing of this type is like performing a piece of classical music before an audience - you have one chance at expressing yourself - and that's it. And, most importantly, the drawing above was created as a coupling for life complementing one another." (E.S.)
