The Sketchbook (eBook, ePUB)

A lucky stroke in art history

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Sketchbooks are an outstanding feature in more than a few exhibitions: they have a downright prominent place in showcases, above them monitors where all sheets can be seen on touch screens - a visual pleasure and an exciting event. Unfortunately, however, many people continue to be rather baffled by sketchbooks. What goes on there? Most are convinced that the purpose of a sketchbook is to prepare for a work - typically a painting. Its pages contain impressions of a preliminary nature, sketched in a few strokes, which are completed at another time and another place. But things have changed, and this is a development we have to examine at long last in greater depth: sketchbooks can accomplish more; they plough a field other than that of "pre-liminarity"! To date there is no publication that explores their true significance within the creative process. Is it not called for to take a close look at the weight artists attach to the "silent companion in their jacket pocket"? This is the purpose of this book.
