Definitions of Drawing

Mary from The Drawing Room explained that the gallery allows a very loose interpretation of the word 'drawing'. the work is relevant so long as the artist considers the piece to be drawing (be it with plastic tape, metal or pencil) or drawing has been a part of the process.

These definitions and quotes about drawing reflect the variety and broadness of the word;

What is it to draw? How do we do it? It is the act of clearing a path for oneself through an invisible iron wall.
Van Gog

Drawing is all
Giacometti

Drawing, de-signifying: breaking the seal, opening the envelope­‑

but it remains sealed.
Yves Bonnefoy
from The Sate of Drawing: Gesture and Act, Tate Publishing, New York

The range of images, feeling, and concepts that can be expressed through the drawing medium is virtually limitless

Drawing is a passionate affair
Tony Godfrey

from Drawing Today, Phaidon, New York, 1990

Conceivably, drawing may be the most haunting obsession the mind can experience... But is it quite, after all, a question of mind?
Paul Valery

from Creative Drawing, McGraw-Hill, 1993

Drawing I take to mean: the element in a work of art which is independent of colour or actual three-dimensional space, the underlying conceptual structure which may be indicated by tone alone.
...A drawing’s basic ingredients are strokes or marks which have a symbolic relationship with experience, not a direct, overall similarity with anything real.
Phillip Rawson

from Drawing, London Oxford University Press, 1969
