Line drawing5/18/2023 “For an equestrian statue placed in these conditions, and a quarter larger than nature, I have made the leg, at the part where the cannon-bone is, one and a half inches larger in circumference in proportion to what it is in nature, and the statue once in place, I have only regretted not having made it another half inch bigger.” The first was cut from the first paragraph and the second, from the second. Robert: Here are the two paragraphs I left out of my first excerpt of the Lanteri on thickening the limbs of figures. Here are two portraits–the first of Stravinsky by Picasso the second, called Woman in Russian Blouse II, by Matisse.

Theseus slays the Minotaur, while Athena looks on–a Greek platter, about 425 BCĭrawing with the absolute minimum of lines and yet showing the whole volume of a figure has been a challenge to artists ever since. And when a new method of vase painting allowed them to paint in rather than scratch in their lines, they carried this kind of representation farther still and produced some of the most beautiful figure drawings in art. The vase-artists became experts at showing volume with their lines. The folds of drapery that they drew also seemed to show them three-dimensionally. Somehow that worked and gave the figures depth. They drew a line to represent prominences, like bones, but also shadows. In time they began to indicate features of anatomy inside the black silhouettes. The lines decorated the figures and also helped define them. They painted a black area on a red vase and then scratched lines in it with a stylus. They had started by using lines to decorate the figures on their beautiful vases.
