Line Form (Classic Reprint) Synopsis

Excerpt from Line Form

Writing, after all, is but a simpler form of draw ing, and we know that the letters of our alphabet were originally pictures or symbols. The main difference is that writing stops short with the ac quisition of the purely useful power of forming letters and words, and is seldom pursued for the sake of its beauty or artistic qualities as formerly; while drawing continually leads on to new diffi culties to be conquered, to new subtleties of line, and fresh fascinations in the pursuit of distinction and style.
