Discover the Antonio Dalle Nogare Collection ✨
“Subway Drawings” by William Anastasi began in the late 1960s, following earlier experiments such as blind drawings—made blindfolded while listening to classical music—and pocket drawings, created while walking and letting a folded sheet of paper capture spontaneous traces.
These works are produced while travelling on the underground: an album resting on the lap, pencils in both hands, and the movement of the train guiding a continuous “seismographic” line across the page.
Often made with eyes closed and sometimes accompanied by music through headphones, they transform the act of commuting into a creative process unfolding in real time.
Across this body of work, chance, perception, space, and time become central themes. What emerges is a daily practice—almost a wandering meditation—that reflects the philosophical and spiritual inquiries of the period, from phenomenology of perception to transcendental meditation.
