Michael Williams: Drawings

October 21 - March 11,2023

From the Power Station: "Drawing is a privilege and painting is an obligation. It's the difference between thinking and working. Drawing is thinking. Of course there is thinking and discovery in painting as well but it's a finishing type of thinking as opposed to an exploring type. This is all very obvious in a way but it's true. Paintings are the greater artworks, but I like drawings more." - Michael Williams The Power Station, Dallas is pleased to annouce "Drawings," an exhibition of 250 drawings by Michael Williams.
