Questions About Antique Line Drawings
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 27, 2025Pablo Picasso was famous for one-line drawings. Well-known examples of his drawings produced with the technique include Dove of Peace and Portrait of Igor Stravinsky.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024A number of artists use continuous line drawing techniques. Some notable names who have produced drawings this way include Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky.

On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of drawings and other art from some of the world's top dealers and galleries.
