James Purdy's novels, dark and delicate, have won him passionate fans such as Tennessee Williams, Gore Vidal and John Waters. Yet, after having 26 novels published in Great Britain, the Brooklyn-based writer, poet and artist remains little known in the United States.
Like his poetry, Purdy's drawings illuminate a stiller deeper aspect of his immense talent. They are spirit drawings, intensely original, archetypal, like cave paintings coming out of the deep recesses of the psyche. Purdy spirals his pencil in free flowing lines forming innocent looking minimal human figures. He usually doodles in between his literary projects, working with an ink pen and felt tip marker - compulsively filling one sketch book after another.
