Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.

Summary

This quote suggests that drawing allows us to express ourselves in a way that is both deliberate and lasting. While a single gesture may be fleeting, drawing captures and preserves that expression. The act of drawing allows an artist to convey emotions, ideas, and concepts through lines and shapes that can be observed and interpreted by others long after the initial gesture has been made. This permanence gives drawing a unique power, as it can communicate and evoke emotions even when the artist is absent.
