Not so much a "how-to" on drawing, this book of unique art plates
adds new insights to modern concepts of composition and design. Its
beautiful presentation seeks to please the art collector as well as
the student. A single theme, whose nuggets are scattered
throughout, unifies these varied and original drawings done over a
period of ten years: Understanding fundamentals enables the modern
artist to present "all things in all ways," making the most of both
observation and inventiveness. This volume consists only of images.
While including "teaching text" handwritten into the illustrations,
at the same time the artist crafted each plate to speak by example
as a work of art. This seemingly modest but intensely interesting
collection of black and white illustrations was done as freehand
studies with the ball-point pen, originally sized for 8.5 x 11 inch
paper. Some earlier pages were multiplied and passed on as teaching
aids to students. The greater number served the artist in
analytical experiment and study, showing what possibilities his
insights can deliver in extending modern freedoms for the
thoughtful viewer. Later pages are unique works of art seeking to
carry into execution a creative wish. Overall this collection seems
the offspring or sequel of a more severely formal earlier book: The
Formulation of a Graphic Language.
