Drawing has a wide field of its own - it reaches around the world - without borders.
It stretches from Lascaux to Cezanne, from Leibl to Mexico, from China to Hietzing, to Wagner and Mungenast and Picasso and beyond.
Distances don't matter, nobody measures steps or kilometres.
Only quality counts: Good is simple, bad is complicated, i.e. too much.
It's as simple as that.
Competent viewers, short-sighted - yet conceited, appreciate the complicated, the simple repels them.
Why is that so?
The mishap of the general view of art is that there are no recipes, so there is no cure for the competent know-it-all.
A pity
What about the design sketch, drawn by inspiration?
Starting from the brain and moving past the eyes to the hand, transferred from the hand to the paper, the idea suddenly comes to life as a visible sign.
The simplest way, the most original act.

A good sketch is the captured, the recorded thought.
So if you can't think, you can't draw.
Every society has its deserving art companions, fashion painters, newspaper ducks, ornamental architects sketch for them beautifully, but thoughtlessly. A farewell to their beautiful designs, a farewell to softness (due to a bad attitude), to paraphrasing, to pseudo-philosophy, to pleasant arts and crafts, to power without strength, vain, pretentious - yet praised and respected.
Does the technical drawing bring something better?
Drawing board and drawing track, electrical machine drawings, photographs and adhesive pictures are no substitute for the generosity of the hand, generously guided by thought.
For there are more things between heaven and earth, between roof and cellar, for the good thought than the engineering chamber, that is certain, more things than the sleepy school education can dream of.
In waking life, the cleverness of the eye is naturally used against geometric superstition - the sketch of ideas brings the necessary enlightenment about the house.
This is how it should be.

It was always like that, as the drawings of our great master builders prove.
Were these master builders great architects and therefore good draughtsmen or great draughtsmen and therefore good master builders?
The one is dependent on the other.
But it always started with the sketch, the idea, and only then everything else.
Just like with you, Roland Rainer.
