David Vaughn
: The asker also needs to look at the previous text to see what that "encore" refers to, but yes the "insistence" on line is probably the idea here. // I think I'd avoid "linear" here, which risks giving the idea of *straight* lines. "Line" in the singular?

Helen Shiner
: I think in this case it is not about the pressure on the page (this isn't a drawing manual) but about strongly stated lines./Just doesn't sound very natural to me as an art historian.

I know this isn't a drawing manual. Firm can be used as a synonym for strong - "applied in firm lines with a brush" from the last ref. given in my answer./ Fair comment, you've more knowledge of the field than I have.

Check out the list of paintings exposed from this exhibition guide: http://bit.ly/1xeXuca (link to exhibition guide as a .doc file)
It's just describing the works of an 18th century painter, no reworking as far as I know.
