High quality print of Original Artwork by Susan Johnston, "The Elbow is not an Island". This elegant graphite pencil drawing floats in a sea of space. The human skeleton is drawn with special attention to the elbow joint. This is a clear example of Susan Johnston's style. In art school she adopted many qualities from the French neoclassical artist, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. She has worked hard to weave these into her own work. Delicate yet bold line and tone flow from her art. In this piece she hints at the physiology viewpoint that without the rest of the body to stabilize the elbow joint it is in danger of injury.
