Drawings | 300+ Pieces

The vast majority of Gilbert Adam Schoenbrod’s catalogue is in the form of his drawings. He often mixed and matched the mediums of crayon, pastel, pen, and pencil. There was also a period of time when he worked with charcoal. Sharon Tennison, an artist herself as well as patron and dear friend of Schoenbrod from the 1970’s until his passing recalls this about Schoenbrod: “He kept his colored pencils carefully sharpened with a lot of the colored part showing, sometimes up to half an inch long it would protrude from the wooden part. Adam’s ability to make sweeping strokes with the pen were done to perfection. A perfect arch, a perfect circle, a perfect peak, all of those tiny little circles or the lines that were perfectly executed, it amazed me because I had the years of practie that he had.” At this time, the online gallery provides only a glimpse at the abundance Schoenbrod created and primarily showcases his larger pieces. There are portfolios full of beautiful, poignant works, many of which are accompanied by text and or prose. Further, nearly every page of his manuscripts is also illustrated in a similar fashion, primarily utilizing crayon and pen.
