I've always loved line drawings. Thurber is my ink guru. His work, The Last Flower, influenced me early on in my time of artistic training. But, the real reason I love line drawings is because they are simple and clean with no fuss. And, as you can see, I love the human form. Life Drawing was one of my favorite classes way back when.
Titles are: Mother and Child, Two Left Feet, Backward Flower Girl, and Nude Lounge
I like line drawings too, Amy. I don't like Picasso much, but the best things he ever did were line drawings, I think. Matisse, though...
ReplyDeleteI actually really love almost all of Picasso's work. Some of the pure Cubist stuff turns me off. I went through a big phase—I wanted to go back and time and be his lover, haha. That was right around the time of my Alice Prin obsession.
ReplyDeleteThurber's more intelligent than I am. And much funnier in a subtle way.
Matisse is pure, melting beauty to me.
James Thurber? The cartoonist? Have I got it wrong? What do you mean, '...more intelligent...'? Sounds like you might be cannon-fodder for the Army of Ermas!
ReplyDeleteNice drawings! I can't draw, even if it's just a line. LOL! Thanks for sharing.: )
ReplyDeleteI had no idea what the Army of Ermas was, but I just googled it. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I love the simplicity of line drawing. Sometimes the small things are the things we appreciate the most.
