New York City, NY Malcolm McKesson 1909-1999 Drawings (pencil, pen, marker, etc.)

Information: Harvard educated and from a wealthy family, lived in tarnished splendor in The Carlton Hotel in New York City until his death in 1999. In one small room there, he produced a huge body of work - some water-colors, mainly pencil sketches - all relating endless fantasies of nobility and servitude. His work is in many private and museum collections. Considered one of "50 Classic Outsiders", Raw Vision Sourcebook, 2002" Marion Harris
