This book presents over 260 illustrations, and explores drawing as a site of reflection, the space between the idea of a painted image and its realization on canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Beginning with a general introduction to the background and style of each artist's work, Rosenberg discusses what the drawings meant to each artist, who collected them, how drawings fit into the practice of the creation of paintings, and the tricky practice of attributing drawings.\"--Library Journal \"[A] wonderful, charming and witty book... The scholarship is personable and engaging, yet unobtrusive. A book for everyone, and a model of the unity, and expansiveness, of the art historical enterprise.\"--Choice \"Rosenberg poses in six chapters a series of basic questions on the nature, function, and connoisseurship of drawings. 'Basic' is, or course, a deceptive word, for the most basic questions can be the most challenging to answer. For general audiences, this book ... is the equivalent of a tour with a patient guide through terrain that otherwise might be perceived as rarified or inhospitable... For specialists, this volume of synthesis and reflection will prove a useful complement to the weighty compilations of fact and documentation in the catalogues raisonnes... One can hope that younger scholars will be inspired to follow Rosenberg's example and give equal attention to drawing and painting as two sides of the same coin, as, of course, they are.\"--Perrin Stein, Master Drawings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePREFACE  INTRODUCTION ix  CHAPTER 1 Five Exceptional Artists 2  CHAPTER 2 The Drawings: Their Histories, Techniques, and Themes 26  CHAPTER 3 Practice and Idea 66  CHAPTER 4 On the Attribution and Dating of the Drawings 96  CHAPTER 5 Drawing and Money 144  CHAPTER 6 Drawing and Design 176  NOTES 211  SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY 234  INDEX 238","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403672658263,"sku":"9780691009186","price":59.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780691009186.jpg?v=1730484215","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/from-drawing-to-painting-9780691009186","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
