Description
Drawing as a formative force, without end and infinite renewal, is at the heart of Jean-Luc Nancy's exploration of the medium. In "The Pleasure in Drawing", Nancy examines how drawing opens towards a finality that never comes to an end, marked by lines of sense, tracings, suspensions, and interruptions. This book brings together ideas from various texts, including those on desire, form, and aesthetics, to rethink our understanding of drawing. It also features a series of "sketchbooks" containing quotations on art from different writers, artists, and philosophers. By considering the pleasure of drawing as a gesture of desire that remains in excess of all knowledge, Nancy offers a new perspective on this fundamental artistic practice. Through its unique blend of philosophical inquiry and visual references, "The Pleasure in Drawing" invites readers to reconsider their relationship with drawing and its many forms.
