The first university-level textbook on the power, condition, and
expanse of contemporary fine art drawing A Companion to
Contemporary Drawing explores how 20th and 21st century artists
have used drawing to understand and comment on the world.
Presenting contributions by both theorists and practitioners, this
unique textbook considers the place, space, and history of drawing
and explores shifts in attitudes towards its practice over the
years. Twenty-seven essays discuss how drawing emerges from the
mind of the artist to question and reflect upon what they see,
feel, and experience. This book discusses key themes in
contemporary drawing practice, addresses the working conditions and
context of artists, and considers a wide range of personal, social,
and political considerations that influence artistic choices.
Topics include the politics of eroticism in South American drawing,
anti-capitalist drawing from Eastern Europe, drawing and conceptual
art, feminist drawing, and exhibitions that have put drawing
practices at the centre of contemporary art. This textbook:
Demonstrates ways contemporary issues and concerns are addressed
through drawing Reveals how drawing is used to make powerful social
and political statements Situates works by contemporary
practitioners within the context of their historical moment
Explores how contemporary art practices utilize drawing as both
process and finished artifact Shows how concepts of observation,
representation, and audience have changed dramatically in the
digital era Establishes drawing as a mode of thought Part of the
acclaimed Wiley Blackwell Companions to Art History series, A
Companion to Contemporary Drawing is a valuable text for students
of fine art, art history, and curating, and for practitioners
working within contemporary fine art practice.
