In a letter to collector Corrie Guyt, Cox confessed to "doing these [Blind Drawings] for many years as a test of visual memory concentration" never "intend(ing) them for anyone but (him)self. They are personal, autobiographical to some extent." Cox prepared four different sizes of original Blind Drawings, the smallest measuring 7 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches and the largest measuring almost 12 x 16 1/2 inches. Each set of drawings was signed and dated within a given period to show sequence in order to see how one drawing tends to lead to another. - Chambers, Franklin & Tucker, pp.87, 90-94 The drawings are in fine condition n y n Gogmagog Press 7500.00 1 23072 COX, Morris A collection of 126 original Blind Drawings of female figures, black ink on 11 3/4 x 16 3/8 inch sheets of white paper, each signed and dated by the artist and bearing the red BD "stamp of affirmation", with the artist's printed statement on a separate sheet, laid in a morocco-backed, illustrated Japanese paper over boards felt-lined folding box (London) 1971-1973 For many years he (Cox) had practiced shutting his eyes, concentrating, drawing...

The present portfolio represents some of Cox's finest achievements using this idiosyncratic mode of drawing. Far from a mere curiosity, Cox's blind drawings clearly reflect a spiritual accomplishment of a high order; though the result of an unconventional discipline, the drawings are marked with the elegance of line and subtlety of feeling that come only from long submission to the constraint of technique. The drawings are in fine condition. The drawings are in fine condition.
