| Summary | "Drawings in Pen & Pencil from Dürer's Day to Ours" by George Sheringham is a collection of art critiques and historical notes written in the early 20th century. The book explores the significance and evolution of pen and pencil drawings through the ages, highlighting works from renowned artists including Albrecht Dürer, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo. With its compilation of drawings accompanied by Sheringham's insights, the work seeks to foster a greater appreciation for the art of drawing. The opening of the book features a preface by the editor, Geoffrey Holme, which includes a heartfelt apology for the absence of a planned contributor, Malcolm C. Salaman. Sheringham elucidates the intrinsic value of drawings, asserting that they convey meaning and emotional depth beyond words. He emphasizes the unique power of artists to capture diverse perspectives through their work, while also critiquing the artistic establishment and the general public's fluctuating appreciation for various artistic styles. The text sets a reflective tone, preparing readers for a journey through the artistic expressions of many great masters across history. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
