"The best things in an artist's work are so much a matter of
intuition, that there is much to be said for the point of view that
would altogether discourage intellectual inquiry into artistic
phenomena on the part of the artist." Thus writes Harold Speed in
the very first line of his introduction to the book in which
deconstructs the process of drawing by subjecting it to lucid
intellectual inquiry. Published in 1913, "The Practice and Science
of Drawing" balances its practical advice with technical insight: a
necessary manual for those who wish to master the elements of
classical drawing.
