Alan E Cober is another artist who I find incredibly fascinating, particularly for his book 'The Forgotten Society'. It contains a collection of drawings and studies of the lives of people from 3 'forgotten societies', hidden from the public eye. The three societies/communities being prison, nursing homes, and mental institutions. Using possibly ink and dip pen, he provides a responsive approach using free and expressive marks. He provides the viewer with an honest and emotional response. One thing I particularly love is the small aspects of handwritten notes.
