Mission Statement:
“Unless the bastards have the courage to give you unqualified praise, I say ignore them.”
American author, John Steinbeck, 1958, speaking of critics,
quoted in the introduction of John Kenneth Galbraith’s, The Affluent Society (1977).
Hypothesis:
By many people, in many times and places, it has been said,
“Drawing is the essence of art.”
To which I would add,
“Composition is the essence of drawing.
Proportion is the essence of composition.
Number is the essence of proportion.
Therefore, number is the essence of art.”
