The surface of things gives enjoyment, their interiority gives life. ( a written note in his sketchbook, around 1911, fh)
Piet Mondrian
Let us honour if we can
The vertical man
Though we value none
But the horizontal one.Wystan Hugh Auden
Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.
Georges Braque
My method is vertical rather than horizontal so the scenery does not change but the texture does.
Marshall McLuhan
Drawing from life is about as close as you can get to communion with your subject. Drawing a tree is losing yourself in everything that defines a tree, defines life when it wears bark and bears branches. It matters very little what you actually end up with in your sketchbook, it's what you end up with IN your head that counts.
