People tend to draw a distinction of major and minor between paintings and drawings from the fact that the medium of drawing has often been used as the base or the starting point of a painting or as part of academic lessons for mastery of the human form or of objects or nature, and hence seems to be easy to handle…But once one looks into the creative process itself, one recognizes at once that a simple drawing in black and white with just a few lines in all can often make a greater impact than a painting that fails to become a work of art in spite of its accumulation of complex techniques or impasto of colours. Personally, I have always been fond of drawings, in pastel or in ink, and enjoyed doing them myself…Some of these drawings, which appear in this exhibition, are essentially academic and naturalistic, but already feature some of my characteristic signs which I could identify as skill, attention to detail, a warm expression of human feelings and human character; and above everything else, the tendency to leave a work unfinished at the very point the artist finds it formally satisfying, to leave it uncluttered and unburdened technically - call it a tendency to stop at just what is adequate!
