John Berger
“We who draw do so not only to make something visible to others, but also to accompany something invisible to its incalculable destination.”
John Berger, Bento's Sketchbook

“Drawing is the art of being able to leave an accurate record of
the experience of what one isn't, of what one doesn't know. A
great drawer is either confirming beautifully what is commonplace
or probing authoritatively the unknown.
::: Brett Whiteley :::”
Brett Whiteley
