Abstract: A drawing is defined as an image in which the composition of lines predominates over considerations of color. Drawings are conceived by the author as structures and non-structures, although any drawing is bound to be structural. In the drawings as non-structures, the elements of the unexpected, accidental, and automatic play a dominant role. In a drawing as a structure, any line must be deeply felt, and drawn on a surface with the conviction that it is necessary where it is placed. By surface is meant the entire picture surface which cannot be divided or separated to show merely any portion covered by lines.
