John Vernon Lord Quotes

“I can recall him saying to me once, 'It is not only how you draw but what you draw, what you choose to put in the picture and what you decide to leave out.' Although I had very little contact with him, he was the first teacher to emphasise the power of content and atmosphere in pictures and how we should aim to create a mood in our illustrations that made the content live.”
― G. Peter Winnington, Mervyn Peake: The Man and His Art
