“L’art fait ressortir les grandes lignes de la nature” (art brings out the great lines of nature).
Antoine Bourdelle
I am so often in awe of folk who can do a quick sketch. Who with the minimum of line can convey so much. And I am often intrigued by how a person can create such a sense of the whole; that they somehow know how to put down the lines that give the best sense of the thing.
I would love to be able to express the essence of a thing in a few lines.
It seems to me that good art truly does this - that it can see the most beautiful lines in nature and then magnify them or bring them into focus for our viewing and understanding.
