'[Drawing] is an intimate medium. It's very direct, it's very close. There's less between the artist and the art. There is real closeness, direct contact. A painting is about refinement of image. And drawing isn't. I don't think drawing is less than painting... The less you have between you and what you're making the better. The best drawing instruments are the ones where you are what your hand is. When the hand moves with the least resistance. In a way, pencil is much less resistant than a brush'

(B. Marden quoted in G. Garrels (ed.), Plane Image: A Brice Marden Retrospective, exh. cat., New York 2006, p. 294).
