A portfolio of drawings featuring approximately 30 works to discover, including: - Gustave Cahoreau (French, 1929–2022) - Joseph A. Kurhajec (American, born in 1938) - Serge Vollin (French, born in 1946) - Alaye Kene Atô (Malian, born around 1967) Various techniques. Various formats. Provenance: the collection of Laurent Danchin (1946–2017), writer, essayist, and art critic, passed down through the family. Born in Mayenne to a family of farmworkers, Cahoreau began carving salvaged wood after his father’s accidental death in 1963, inspired by a book on African art. Born in Racine (Wisconsin), Kurhajec is a self-taught sculptor who divides his time between the United States, France, and Mexico; his expressionist and grotesque work combines wood, bone, horn, plaster, rope, and feathers to create animals, totems, and composite figures. He is among the 25 artists featured by Laurent Danchin in *Mycelium: Savant Genius, Raw Genius* (Editions de l’abbaye d’Auberive, Auberive, 2014). Born in the Aurès Mountains of Algeria, Serge Vollin began drawing at the age of eight to process the traumas of the Algerian War, before settling in France and then in Munich. His body of work—more than 1,700 pieces created without preliminary sketches—blends modern art, art brut, and art therapy. Laurent Danchin wrote the essay “Mes Aurès / My Aures” in the catalog raisonné of Serge Vollin’s work, Volume 1 (Objet trouvé éditeur, 2004). A former Dogon farmer whose left hand was mutilated in 1987 by the explosion of a homemade rifle, Alaye Kene Atô creates felt-pen drawings populated by demons and spirits drawn from his personal cosmology.
