The drawn line is a powerful tool of communication: on one hand, it is a device the artist relies on to direct the sight and thoughts of the viewer to his objective. Yet it can also impart glimpses into the artist’s creative imagination, even in a time of belligerence. At the frontline, beyond merely making rapid sketches to be developed later, or recording images with journalistic intent, the line is committed to paper to create the resemblance of physical things, capturing the anatomy of man and machine, landscapes, and life around the battlefields.
