These four drawings, along with four figurative drawings just listed, came from a portfolio of antique drawings by Pennsylvania folk/outsider artist Wayne B. Blouch of Lancaster, PA, previously owned by art professor & art historian Jill McKeever Furst, who taught at Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, PA for over 10 years, which may be when she acquired them. There is not much out there about Blouch except a few sales of work at auction (Garth's; Pook & Pook), with those works dated c. 1880s.
These drawings, executed in crayon on lined paper, resemble hex signs, a form of Pennsylvania Dutch folk art related to fraktur. Each measures approx 8" x 8". There are a few minor tears as pictured; overall very good condition, with the color nice and bright. I am selling them individually, through they do look pretty great all four together in a grid I think!
