Description

Drawing in the Present Tense by Claire Gilman and Roger Malbert is a comprehensive overview of contemporary drawing practices. This visually appealing book explores how artists worldwide have come to view drawing as a primary medium, often autonomous from other art forms. In an era where image production has accelerated, the slow process of drawing by hand raises important questions about its value. The artworks featured in this volume showcase a range of approaches, including abstraction and figuration, nature and artifice, and social observation and critique. From recognizable names to emerging talents, this selection highlights the diversity and innovation of contemporary drawing. Beautifully presented with essays and feature spreads for each section, Drawing in the Present Tense offers an inspiring look at the best drawing practice today.
