Product Description

Product Description

On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century explores the radical transformation of drawing that began during the last century as numerous artists critically re-examined the traditional concepts of the medium. In a revolutionary departure from the institutional definition of drawing and from reliance on paper as the fundamental support material, artists instead pushed the line into real space, expanding the mediums relationship to gesture and form and connecting it with painting, sculpture, photography, film and dance. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, On Line presents a discursive history of mark-making through nearly 250 works by 100 artists, including Aleksandr Rodchenko, Alexander Calder, Karel Malich, Eva Hesse, Anna Maria Maiolino, Richard Tuttle, Mona Hatoum and Monika Grzymala, among many others. Essays by the curators illuminate individual practices and examine broader themes, such as the exploration of the line by the avant-garde and the relationship between drawing and dance.

Beautiful and original catalogue / exhibition theme 1 Jan 2011
By Neiges - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This catalogue documents a very open research, and is quite handy if you can't make it to New York to see the show.
The texts are well written in a precise but understandable manner. The viewpoint on drawing as an expanded practice is very contemporary and thorough. Unmissable if you want to learn about drawing and its adjacent fields throughout the XXth century into now. Very very good purchase.
