Composition #2 Piet Mondrian |
Dutch Painter
1872 - 1944
The line is one of the smallest elements of a drawing or a painting. The line is the beginning of what is to be. And in that beginning the line conveys the emotion to come, the story to be told. All art begins some where. For the artist it is the line. For the writer it is the word. For the musician it is the note. And the line becomes the skeleton, the core of what is created.
I recently discovered the drawings of Michael Kirby. He has the powerful ability to convey emotion with simple lines. Check out his blog at:
