She was an American journalist, labor activist, social critic, and novelist. I came across her recently while checking on literary publications to see what they were up to these days.
Mary Heaton Vorse, 1874-1966, has been recently rediscovered after long neglect. So I drew her for my facefame blog. While reading about her, I found this quote from her:
“The art of writing is the art of applying the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair.”
We can substitute “drawing’ for “writing” and get:
“The art of drawing is the art of applying the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair.”
So true. Thank you, Ms. Vorse.
