This richly illustrated book explores drawing as a site of reflection, the space between the idea of a painted image and its realization on canvas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow, why, and for whom did these artists draw? What value did they place on their drawings? How did their drawings get handed down to us? In what way do they enable us better to understand the artists' intentions, their creative processes, and to penetrate their worlds? Pierre Rosenberg determines that each artist approached drawing in a distinctive way, reflecting his individual training, work habits, and personal ambitions. For example, Poussin viewed his drawings simply as working documents, Watteau preferred his drawings to his paintings, and Fragonard made a lucrative business selling his graphic work. For David and Ingres, drawing had a considerable pedagogical function, whether in copying the great works of their predecessors or in sharpening their own techniques. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom Drawing to Painting\u003c\/i\u003e Offers an unprecedented view of the artistic process, and makes an important and beautiful addition to any art library.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pierre Rosenberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 069100918X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691009186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.27h x 8.81w x 1.07d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2000 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2000 pg. 699","brand":"Pierre Rosenberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058182287615,"sku":"9780691009186","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdebe23b-3cbd-4635-ac94-11923ea3f281.jpg?v=1685051115","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-drawing-to-painting-pierre-rosenberg-9780691009186","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
