Description
Drawing is at the heart of human creativity, a universal language that requires nothing more than a plain surface and a simple tool. From prehistoric cave paintings to modern-day sketches, drawing has been a fundamental part of artistic expression throughout history. This book offers a unique perspective on the role of drawing in the creative process, exploring the ways in which artists have used drawing to think, innovate, and express themselves. Through a fascinating and often unconventional history, Susan Owens reveals the extraordinary creative latitude that drawing has always offered, and the ways in which it has allowed artists to tap into their imagination and scrutinise the world around them. By examining the work of artists from a range of different styles and periods, The Story of Drawing reveals the versatility and power of this fundamental art form, and offers a fresh and engaging perspective on the history of art.
