Tracey Emin (1963 - )

There is a lovely rough, gestural quality to Emin's work. Her use of line is very fluid, awkward and uneven. I get the sense from these drawings that they were done quickly. There is a wonderful loose and vague quality to her work, like she has stopped drawing as soon as she thought that she had communicated enough information about the form. Some of her work reminds me of Matisse's line drawings, especially in the way they only communicate pieces of visual information which the viewer then has to piece together.
