Drawing the Line

March 30 - June 10, 2001

At first glance, Ellsworth Kelly's image seems similar in its spareness to Egon Schiele's drawing nearby. On closer inspection, however, it may be seen that they use quite different types of line. Where Schiele's line appears to have been drawn with considerable pressure, Kelly's crayon line glides continuously across the surface, propelled by movement of the arm rather than the tight wrist work of Schiele.
