Traces of thought and intimacy / Tania Kovats -- Inestigating the status of drawing -- Drawing into painting -- Spatial drawing -- In parallel : drawing and sculpture -- This drawing life -- Drawing in part / Kate Macfarlane and Katharine Stout -- Measurement -- Nature -- City -- Dreams -- Body / Charles Darwent.
The works in The Drawing Book, by artists, architects, sculptors, scientists, filmmakers and thinkers of all descriptions, attest to the versatility and immediacy of drawing. From first thoughts to finely wrought, elaborate artworks, from the lightest sketch in pencil to bold, gallery-wall installations, the medium is shown as an essential vehicle for creativity. The recent prominence of artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, Chris Ofili, Rachel Whiteread, Ellen Gallagher, and a host of others who use drawing as a final means of expression, is addressed in both the works shown and essays by curators Kate Macfarlane and Katharine Stout, and art historian Charles Darwent. The Drawing Book takes us on a journey through five themes -- measurement, nature, the city, dreams, and the body. The Drawing Book provides a new and unique approach to an age old medium.
