diagonals
Sometimes the line works as a focusing device, sometimes as a framing. A straight line is as close to virtue as the artist can get. And by virtue I mean clarity. Although diagonals are my favourite lines I do suspect them of having certain qualities that would, in earlier times, be described as devilish. Diagonals dance too readily and their dance is always an invitation to join them. For this reason one must approach diagonals with one’s eyes closed.
