guide covers everything from architecture to accidental paintings,
cocktails to clouds, smudges to skyscrapers.With easily digested
bite-size entries, it introduces many types of art materials, their
uses and a number of insights and exercises to build confidence in
a range of approaches to drawing. For the more experienced
sketcher, the artists discuss the processes behind drawing and
strategies to inject more creativity and open-mindedness about how
to take a drawing forward.With great charm, the book gives a window
onto the experiences of Jeanette, who has travelled to many cities
worldwide in search of inspiring city subjects and a half-decent
cocktail. Full of tips and ideas about working on location and back
in the studio, this book is filled with the scribbles, sketches and
preparatory drawings that feed into the larger works for which she
is known.As a whole, the book is a multipurpose tool which can be
used to unlock the potential of drawing both technically and
philosophically so that the reader can be the architect of their

This book gives every reader the chance to share that excitement
and bring urban living to life.
"Seventeenth-Century European Drawings in Midwestern Collections:
The Age of Bernini, Rembrandt, and Poussin" brings together more
than one hundred treasures of the Baroque age from museum
collections throughout the Midwest. The volume presents a
fascinating and representative selection of Italian, Dutch,
Flemish, and French drawings in Midwestern repositories, offering
new insights on many of these works of art. Many are relatively
unknown, and some have never before been published.
Authored by major scholars in the field, the catalogue presents
each drawing along with a concise description with full scholarly
apparatus. Four essays, written by Babette Bohn, George S. Keyes,
Kristi A. Nelson, and Alvin L. Clark, Jr., respectively, introduce
the Italian, Dutch, Flemish, and French schools. The catalogue's
introductory essay, by Shelley Perlove, places these works within
the historical, iconographic, and stylistic currents of
seventeenth-century art. The catalogue is designed to have
widespread appeal for art historians, curators, artists,
collectors, students, and general readers interested in art and
cultural history. Moreover, "Seventeenth-Century European Drawings
in Midwestern Collections "highlights the surprising number of
institutions throughout the Midwest that have acquired
distinguished European drawings from the seventeenth century worthy
of full recognition by collectors and connoisseurs.

The Monochrome of the Sala delle Asse is a portion of wall
decoration left at the drawing stage and represents the roots of
one of the sixteen mulberry trees that, regularly spaced on the
walls of the room, intertwine above to create a polychrome arboreal
pavilion on the vault. The Monochrome of the Sala delle Asse is a
portion of wall decoration left at the drawing stage and represents
the roots of one of the sixteen mulberry trees that, regularly
spaced on the walls of the room, intertwine above to create a
polychrome arboreal pavilion on the vault. The decoration of the
room, which was never completed, is historically tied to the name
of Leonardo da Vinci by a letter written in April 1498 by Gualtiero
da Bascape, the secretary of Ludovico il Moro, to the duke of
Milan, explaining that Lunedi si desarmara la camera grande da le
Asse c[i]oe da la tore. Magistro Leonardo promete finirla per tuto
Septembre. The room was subjected to radically changing fortunes
over the centuries, and was later the object of two complex
restoration campaigns, the first carried out between 1893 and 1902
by Luca Beltrami and the second between 1955 and 1956 by Costantino
Baroni. This volume provides an account of the result of these
restorations. It describes the complex diagnostic research and the
technical assessments that form the foundations of a broader
project for the conservation of the painted area. Text in English
and Italian.
Over the last three decades, the visual artist William Kentridge
has garnered international acclaim for his work across media
including drawing, film, sculpture, printmaking, and theater.
Rendered in stark contrasts of black and white, his images reflect
his native South Africa and, like endlessly suggestive shadows,
point to something more elemental as well. Based on the 2012
Charles Eliot Norton Lectures, Six Drawing Lessons "is the most
comprehensive collection available of Kentridge s thoughts on art,
art-making, and the studio.
Art, Kentridge says, is its own form of knowledge. It does not
simply supplement the real world, and it cannot be purely
understood in the rational terms of traditional academic
disciplines. The studio is the crucial location for the creation of
meaning: the place where linear thinking is abandoned and the
material processes of the eye, the hand, the charcoal and paper
become themselves the guides of creativity. Drawing has the
potential to educate us about the most complex issues of our time.
This is the real meaning of drawing lessons.
Incorporating elements of graphic design and ranging freely
from discussions of Plato s cave to the Enlightenment s role in
colonial oppression to the depiction of animals in art, Six Drawing
Lessons "is an illustration in print of its own thesis of how art
creates knowledge. Foregrounding the very processes by which we
see, Kentridge"makes us more aware of the mechanisms and deceptions
through which we construct meaning in the world."
Very few artists can claim such lasting and worldwide fame and
importance as Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564). The nickname il
divino ("the divine one") has been applied to him since the 1530s
right through to today: his achievements as a sculptor, painter,
and architect remain unparalleled and his creations are among the
best-known artworks in the world. This Bibliotheca Universalis
edition is devoted to the artist's graphic work, a testimony to his
masterly command of line, form, and detail, from architectural
studies to anatomically perfect figures. The book brings together
some of the artist's finest drawings from museums and collections
around the world as well as some of his own notes and revisions,
offering stunning proximity not only to the ambition and scope of
Michelangelo's practice but also his working process. A chapter
with a compilation of newly attributed and reattributed drawings
provides further insights into Michelangelo's varied graphic oeuvre
and the ongoing exploration of his genius. About the series
Bibliotheca Universalis - Compact cultural companions celebrating
the eclectic TASCHEN universe!
Latin inscriptions found on buildings, tombstones, altars and
votive monuments form a rich source of information for historians
about classical Rome. By the early seventeenth century, ancient
epigraphy had become a highly developed branch of learning, and the
drawings of inscriptions preserved in the Paper Museum offer a
fascinating insight into this earlier world of scholarship - in
some cases providing our only record of the piece being
illustrated. The drawings in this volume cover a wide chronological
range and provide details about Roman law, the Roman army and
officials of the Roman Empire as well as aspects of Roman life
overlooked in literary sources.

"Hallum's painting is charged with delight in colour, line, surface
and composition, in powerfully unconventional ways." - Hettie Judah
This is the first monograph on the London-born, Devon-based artist
Jacqui Hallum. The publication documents Hallum's solo exhibition
at The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool (10 October 2019 - 1 March
2020), along with a series of solo, two-person and group
exhibitions held between 2014 and 2020. Hallum is best-known for
her mixed-media paintings on textiles - techniques she has
developed and refined over the course of twenty years since
completing her studies. Incorporating imagery and visual languages
ranging from medieval woodcuts and stained-glass windows to Art
Nouveau children's illustrations, tarot cards and Berber rugs,
Hallum employs ink staining, painting, drawing and printing to
create layers of pattern, abstraction and passages of figurative
imagery. As part of her working process, Hallum often leaves the
fabrics in the open air, exposed to the elements, in order to
introduce weathering into the works. History, religion, mysticism
and the beliefs and creativity of past civilisations are among the
themes that overlap - often in a literal sense of pieces of fabrics
layered, pinned, draped and hung together - to form painterly
palimpsests that carry a sense of the past with them into the
present. Along with a foreword by Professor Caroline Wilkinson,
Director of the School of Art and Design at Liverpool John Moores
University, and an introductory essay by artist, curator and
director of Kingsgate Workshops and Project Space in London, Dan
Howard-Birt, the publication features newly commissioned essays by
arts journalist and critic Hettie Judah and by Andrew Hunt,
Professor of Fine Art and Curating at the University of Manchester.
Also featured is the edited transcript of a conversation between
Hallum and Howard-Birt held at The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
Jacqui Hallum (b.1977, London) graduated with a BA in Fine Art from
Coventry School of Art& Design, Coventry University, in 1999,
and an MFA in Painting from the Slade School of Fine Art,
University of London, in 2002. Hallum's solo exhibition at The
Walker Art Gallery followed a three-month fellowship at Liverpool
John Moores University, which resulted from winning the prestigious
John Moores Painting Prize in 2018. The monograph, designed by
work-form and edited by Susan Taylor, has been produced by
Kingsgate Project Space and co-published with Anomie Publishing.
