It's hard to imagine a simpler reduction of biographies to plastic form. I suspect you know some of these people. To understand the discipline that line imposes, you might try distilling your own life, or your own relationships, this way.
Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein once wrote,
What can't be said can't be said and can't be whistled either.But as Steinberg repeatedly reminds us, sometimes it can be drawn.
I'm jealous of some of the other scribbles.

The most influential drawing of my life.
ReplyDeletethis is not a real sketch- consciousness's flux ?
ReplyDeleteit's like an improvising jazz-pattern-solo
or pure paranoia's addiction
My life is like that one in the center at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteI can't choose which one my life is like - my life, at different times, is like each one!
ReplyDeletewow this is the "informal" style !!!
ReplyDeletebut how many artists we can remember about, in effect ?
i think onehundred... too much even for the history of art , museums and art gallerys
for me, this is an exemple of automatic writing, in the way of Pollock and J. Cage,an aleatory's drawning melt whit some jazz-solo-patterns
ReplyDeleteI managed to visit Mr Ronald Searle last weekend-see my blog for details.
