The drawing and the look: To Leandro

Abstract

Drafting, foreshortening, croquis. A special pencil bought in a trip and carefully kept, or a ballpoint pen at hand at the precise moment. The paper too could be that one kept besides the special pen in the office’s most coveted drawer, where the preciousness of drawing and painting collected throughout the years is stored. Or it could be the most ordinary one of them, a calendar page, a napkin, a sheet of printing paper grabbed out of the copy-maker.
