DescriptionVisually complex, Baseman's drawings contain multiple layers of images usually anchored by a large central figure. Figures, animals, buildings, vehicles and landscape elements coexist in a surrealistic tableau, which entices the viewer to actively experience the work in an attempt to understand this wonderfully bizarre world. An owl dominates the vignette on the right. At the bottom center, a raven’s head dominates. Three centipedes are upper center in this complex imagery.
