Expressive Lines

Expressive lines are produced by the artist. They can be wispy or completely straight depending on what emotion the artist wants to recreate. For example, Van Gough is famous for using wispy lines in his artwork while Sol LeWitt is famous for using mostly straight lines. In Jasper Johns Passage, he uses straight lines. They seem more free flowing than rigid. He uses this technique is a bunch of his different paintings included the one mentioned in the textbook called Numbers in Color. Jasper Johns demonstrates an expressive line through his free flowing straight lines.
