- “I kind of draw like you are walking through the forest,” Condo explains. “You don’t really know where you are going. You just start from some point and randomly travel through the paper until you get to a point where you finally reach your destination.” Such a spirit of improvisation has characterized Condo’s drawing practice from the beginning of his career.
The earliest drawings among a group of twenty-eight sheets recently acquired by the Morgan date to 1975-76, when Condo was still a teenager. They already show him plundering art history to reimagine past styles-here Cubism and Surrealism-on his own terms. Their titles, Mind and Matter and Entrance to the Mind, signal the essential correlation between drawing and mental states that has remained central to his art until today.
The sheets acquired by the Morgan-thanks to the generosity of several donors-were selected with the artist’s collaboration to offer an overview of his career during the last forty-five years.
Listen to George Condo in conversation with Isabelle Dervaux, Acquavella Curator of Modern & Contemporary Drawings, to learn more about Condo's practice and the drawings in this recent acquisition.

He is good. But terrible at talking about art.
@@ziraprod6090 A lot of artists are. Part of their own restlessness. Their inability to express themselves in that way is irrelevant.
Amazing!
Really interesting!
Love it ❤️
These drawings look cool. Any chance the Morgan will exhibit them soon?

somewhere between cartoons and picasso. it's well- executed but not v. fascinating.
I don't like to be one of these people who go against the grain on threads, but my god, some of his stuff is pure kitsch. I'm a fan of kitsch, I love Picassos late art wich was pure kitsch, but I'm not sure with this guy. I kind of see that he's got something, I kind of like these rebellious artists who go against the grain, but this reminds me of how hypocritical the art establishment is... normally these kind of people in it would turn their noses up at his stuff because its figurative to a degree, and it's kitsch... but hey as long as you sell, they love you.
They all look like picasso's
Amazing!
