NOTES
Among a web of interwoven lines, figures gaze and a couple embraces in this minimal, yet lively, drawing. For Herbert Gentry, the interconnected bodies evoke the vast network of international artists, writers, and musicians he developed. First studying in Paris in 1946 and later founding the exhibition space and jazz club Chez Honey there, he reveled in the relationships he cultivated. He was also inspired by the European café culture and its fluid social interactions. He eventually maintained—often simultaneously—homes and studios in five cities, including Stockholm and Copenhagen, among others.
