From first thoughts to finely wrought, elaborate artworks, from the lightest sketch in pencil to bold, gallery-wall installations, the medium is shown as a primary vehicle for creativity." "The recent prominence of artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Robert Smithson, Chris Ofill, Rachel Whiteread, Ellen Gallagher, and a host of others who use drawing as a means of expression, is addressed in both the works shown and essays by curators Kate Macfarlane and Katharine stout, and art writer Charles Darwent. The Drawing Book takes us on a journey through five themes - measurement, nature, the city, dreams and the body, selected and introduced by artist Tania Kovats. Each is illustrated with a diverse range of images, from the old masters - Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Durer - through great Modernist pieces by Rodin, Picasso, Matisse, and others, and on to the contemporary artists who are reviving drawing today: a new and unique approach to a timeless medium."--BOOK JACKET.
