Sword Drawing

Famous quotes containing the words sword and/or drawing:

“...and every sword was against the other, so that there was very great confusion.”
—Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 14:20.

“Painting dissolves the forms at its command, or tends to; it melts them into color. Drawing, on the other hand, goes about resolving forms, giving edge and essence to things. To see shapes clearly, one outlines them—whether on paper or in the mind. Therefore, Michelangelo, a profoundly cultivated man, called drawing the basis of all knowledge whatsoever.”
—Alexander Eliot (b. 1919)
