Description
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood revolutionized British art with their radical approach. This book explores the vital role of drawing and design in their work, featuring some of the most important Pre-Raphaelite drawings from public and private collections in the UK. Illustrated with striking works by key artists such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt and Edward Burne-Jones, this book showcases a wide range of artistic styles and mediums, including portraits, self-portraits, caricatures, watercolour drawings and original designs for stained glass, textiles and ceramics. Art historian Colin Cruise examines the emergence of the Brotherhood's graphic style, their theories of naturalism and their innovative use of drawing techniques. The book also explores the impact of Pre-Raphaelite drawing on British art movements such as Aestheticism, Symbolism and Art Nouveau.
