The works in The Drawing Book, by artists, architects, sculptors, scientists, filmmakers and thinkers of all descriptions, attest to the versatility and immediacy of drawing. From first thoughts to finely wrought, elaborate artworks, from the lightest sketch in pencil to bold, gallery-wall installations, the medium is shown as an essential vehicle for creativity. It takes us on a journey through five themes: measurement, nature, the city, dreams, and the body. Each is richly illustrated with a diverse range of images, from the old masters- Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Dürer- through great Modernist pieces by Rodin, Picasso, Matisse, and on to the contemporary artists who are reviving drawing today. 2007 edition. Condition: Covers shelfworn, light scuffing; pages clean and readable and binding tight.
