Literature:

David P. Silcox and Merike Weiler, Christopher Pratt, Toronto, 1982, page 126.

Note:

Describing his figural drawings in the book “Christopher Pratt” the artist is quoted: “You can’t ignore the individuality of people or overlook the details that identify their separateness as arrogantly as you can ignore irregularities that make a wall or room particular. Almost the only time I draw actual things, the way they are, is when I do preliminary figure work.”
