"Animal Sketches" by Mark George Tobey exemplifies his densely structured compositions inspired by Asian calligraphy, resembling Abstract expressionism in style. Tobey's innovative use of ink and dynamic brushwork evoke a sense of spontaneity through Sketch and study. The painting reflects his philosophical interests in Eastern religions and his background as a largely self-taught artist.
