Series 8: Sketchbooks, 1951-2004
1.3 Linear feet
Boxes 8-9

Sketchbooks (44 volumes) contain drawings and sketches in pencil and ink. Among the subjects are: travel sketches from Hong Kong, China, and Greece; heads and a portrait of Stewart's mother; 10th Annual Ocean Grove Memorial Day Art Event; and many studies of sheep made for the Cluett Mural commission. Two volumes include writings. Of particular interest are notes on Franz Kline's funeral, May 1962.
Although numbered in several overlapping sequences, the sketchbooks are arranged chronologically. Additional sketches of Guilin, China are found among the artwork (Series 7).
