Title: Original drawing - self portrait in a circle of friends Author: Bukowski, Charles Place: Publisher: Date: c.1980-1994 Description: Drawing on paper with black in, plus colored ink, matted and framed. Without frame measures approximately 10½x8½, with frame 22x19½". Signed "Buk" in black ink on lower right corner. This original work is typical of Bukowski's later art which is focused more on caricatures of the "little man" and drawings, rather than the abstract oils and watercolors of the 1950s and 1960s. The drawing shows Bukowski at center smoking a cigarette, plus 8 little men around him, plus one little woman, each doting on the author: the woman is patting his head, one man kisses his feet, etc. There is a blue star in the top left corner, and each person has been colored with green or red shirts or pants, blue shoes, shirts, etc. Lot Amendments Condition: A few nicks to frame; drawing fine. Item number: 221527
