Description
William Kentridge's Six Drawing Lessons offers a unique perspective on art and its role in creating knowledge. Based on his 2012 Charles Eliot Norton Lectures, this comprehensive collection explores the studio as a crucial location for artistic creation and meaning-making. Kentridge argues that drawing has the potential to educate us about complex issues of our time, making it an essential tool for understanding the world around us. Through a range of topics, from Plato's cave to the depiction of animals in art, Kentridge reveals how art can create knowledge through its very processes. By foregrounding the mechanisms and deceptions involved in constructing meaning, Six Drawing Lessons provides a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of art and creativity.
