Description

Drawing Acts explores the significance of drawing as both an art form and an act. By examining the making of drawings, David Rosand uncovers the meaning in the lines of the draftsman and the recreative dimension of critical response.

This book delves into the world of drawings by renowned artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Piranesi, Tiepolo, and Picasso, as well as the history and theory of the medium itself. Drawing Acts seeks to establish new foundations for the criticism and appreciation of drawing.

Drawing is often considered the most revealing record of artistic creativity, offering a direct expression of the artistic self. This book provides a fresh perspective on the subject, one that sheds light on the importance of drawings in understanding artistic innovation and expression.
