I was honored to see two studies of this piece by Maynard Dixon.12 3 4 The studies alone, took my breath away. The piece evokes such destitution and sadness. The title is aptly named: “Forgotten Man.”

I pray5 this art helps touch our hearts and reminds us that we are all connected. We are not alone. And, no one is forgotten.
In art, a study is a drawing, sketch or painting done in preparation for a finished piece, as visual notes, or as practice....Studies can have more impact than more-elaborately planned work, due to the fresh insights the artist gains while exploring the subject.

I realize that not all are religious or even believe in a God. Words can be trite and I use this word to evoke my most sincere and sacred hope.
