Gaudier-Brzeska's drawing style was influenced by the Chinese calligraphy and poetry which he discovered at the "Ezuversity", Ezra Pound's unofficial locus of teaching. Pound's interaction with Ernest Fenollosa's work on the Chinese brought Gaudier-Brzeska to the galleries of Eastern art, where he studied the ideogram and applied it to his art. He had the ability to imply, with a few deft strokes, the being of a subject. His drawings also show the influence of Cubism.
