In drawing, the artist’s strengths and weaknesses come to light, stripped of all frills. In the simplest application of a pure line, the artist cannot hide behind attractive, immaterial additions.
Ed Valk (1926): “as a child, I had already chosen line drawings as my medium.
For me, in no-thing... should any of my drawings resemble a painting.”
In this lies Ed Valk’s ability to summarise the drama of human life on paper, with loving precision and in only a few lines - “the fewer, the better”. He is the absolute master of unveiling. His precise and composed method of observation cannot hide the sincere emotion the artist feels for his subject. This is why eroticism in the drawings of Ed Valk can be attributed the highest qualities of expression.
