A richly illustrated, up-to-the-minute overview of new approaches
in drawing, set in the context of recent developments of other
forms of contemporary art. This book explores the variety of ways
in which contemporary artists from around the world have come to
approach drawing as the primary, sometimes the sole, element of
their practice, and one which is autonomous: an end in itself
rather than a means to an end in another, more substantial medium.
In an era of advanced technologies where image production has
accelerated – potentially beyond the capacity of human attention
– what values can be attributed to the slow, deliberate process
of drawing by hand? The artworks featured in this volume are not
confined to traditional tools – one can also draw on a computer,
tablet or smartphone, and examples of digital drawing are
incorporated into the narrative not as a separate category but as
one medium among many. Grouped thematically by specific approaches,
including abstraction and figuration, nature and artifice, social
observation and critique, with essays and feature spreads for each
section, this selection of international artists of diverse
backgrounds and experience includes not only recognizable names
such as Michael Armitage, Camille Henrot, Robert Longo, Amy Sillman
and Kara Walker, but also a host of emerging talents. Beautifully
presented in a visually appealing and tactile format with the feel
of an artist’s portfolio, this is an inspiring overview of the
best drawing practice today.
