Features: This book takes us from the patterns on pottery from the ancient times to the Han Dynasty's relief sculptures and silk calendars. The lines are either heavy or ethereal, allowing us to directly perceive scenes of human struggle and joy. Line drawing is the most primal, simplest, and most direct means of expressing emotions in art.
