Energy. Motion. Light. Shadow. Weight. Drawn works have the ability to convey these qualities with a sense of immediacy that no other medium allows, revealing the distinct and direct path of the artist’s hand. This stunning collection features historical and contemporary drawnings and includes nudes, landscapes and abstracts. Alive and strong, the works in The Power of Line attest to the expressive power and range of effects that the medium of drawing is capable of finding.
