Van Gogh Drawings

Intro

Van Gogh had very strong ideas about drawing. He believed the practice was the root of everything, and he had a robust appreciation for draftsmen across history including Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Daumier and Howard Pyle. What is most intriguing about van Gogh's drawing oeuvre is that the artist went through a period of contour drawing and line drawing, and found appealing aspects to both. I often feel it is immature of me to enjoy drawings with strong outlines, but if van Gogh found something in them worthwhile that's enough for me.
