“Sexism Study #11” is an artwork by Benny Andrews, created in 1973. Executed in pen and ink on paper, this piece belongs to the Figurative Expressionism movement and is classified as a sketch and study. The artwork measures 24 x 18 cm, showcasing the artist’s exploration of themes through minimalistic yet poignant line work.
The artwork comprises a sparse composition, primarily using fine lines to delineate its subject matter. It features an abstract structure resembling a scaffold or platform, topped with an ambiguous form heavily textured on its upper side. Two indistinct elongated forms extend from the platform, seeming lifeless in their suspension. On the right side, an array of foliage adds a contrasting organic element, emanating from the base of the structure. Additionally, a cluster of irregular shapes appears to float in the upper left part of the artwork. This minimalist visualization effectively evokes a contemplative ambiance, inviting viewers to reflect on its underlying themes.
