"...A sketch is dynamic. It is a reconnaissance. It does not dwell merely on the surface of things. It investigates in depth; it explains the grounds for the appearance of things; it indicates the sequence, the hierarchy of values; it reveals the rhythms of linear elements, and divests them of needless and random details; it gives them direction; it intervenes and rectifies what time did not yet, or has been unable to, rectify; it unmasks the hidden architecture of masses, and it places those masses in the appropriate light and due positions; it finds new relationships between age-old objects, it alters their order, condemning some to oblivion, others to prominence; it senses or conjectures the meaning or yearning of material; it contrives a totality and obliges all things to play the part most fitting for the creation of a superior harmony..." |
