Analect 3.1x



22 July 2010. "The drawings are ahead of the painting," an old expression, but no less valuable for it. Meaning that the points reached in a drawing are clearer, more manifest, than what follows in the painting. (Of course, the situation can be reversed.)

And sometimes the drawing is right there in the painting, sneaked on, from the side, as if it were just an everyday kind of thing... A surprise, like the ringing of a phone...

Kusok Chleba, my love... A bite of bread...
