The Art of the Line, an exhibition takes a fresh look at a classic device. While the line, as an artistic tool, is widely associated with drawing, the show explores what happens when lines take the lead in paintings and sculpture. Thirteen artists will share their explorations of lines defining planes, piercing space, and uniting forms.
 
Organized by James Varnum and Nancy DuVergne Smith, co-presidents of the Newton Art Association, the exhibition draws on area artists who work in abstract as well as representational forms.

The Art of the Line theme is based on the

A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. It is one-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length. Lines often define the edges of a form. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, curved or straight, thick or thin. They lead your eye around the composition and can communicate information through their character and direction.
