Klappentext zu „Drawing in the Present Tense “
"This book explores the variety of ways in which contemporary artists from around the world have come to approach drawing as the primary, sometimes the sole, element of their practice, and one which is autonomous: an end in itself rather than a means to an end in another, more substantial medium. In an era of advanced technologies where image production has accelerated, potentially beyond the capacity of human attention, what values can be attributed to the slow, deliberate process of drawing by hand. The artworks featured in this volume are not confined to traditional tools, one can also draw on a computer, tablet or smartphone, and examples of digital drawing are incorporated into the narrative not as a separate category but as one medium among many. Grouped thematically by specific approaches, including abstraction and figuration, nature and artifice, social observation and critique, with essays and feature spreads for each section, this selection of international artists of diverse backgrounds and experience includes not only recognizable names such as Michael Armitage, Camille Henrot, Robert Longo, Amy Sillman and Kara Walker, but also a host of emerging talents."--

Pressezitat
'It is when artists think aloud with line - when they draw, in other words - that their imaginations seem most nearly stripped naked. Here is a mass skinny dip of powerful minds from across the globe. Malbert and Gilman's urgent selection demonstrates why in the 2020s the bare mark is becoming a crunch point for the whole visual art field' - Julian Bell
