Synopsis
From John Currin's old-master-style Playboy bunnies to Elizabeth Peyton's fin-de-siecle portraits; from Julie Mehretu's dizzying, multilayered architectural landscapes to Shahzia Sikander's multipatterned miniature ones; from Yoshitomo Nara's angry and enigmatic little girls to Kara Walker's stereotypical negresses; and from Barry McGee's caricatures of urban graffiti to Matthew Ritchie's cosmological diagrams--drawing is back, if it ever went away. In contrast to the digitized, multimedia direction that much of contemporary art has taken in the past decade, drawing has become the major mode of expression for many of today's most important young artists. Drawing Now, published to accompany the first major survey of contemporary drawings at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 15 years, contains more than 100 color reproductions of work by 26 international artists, both well-known and emerging, that demonstrate the fascinating variety of methods and approaches, mediums and scales, apparent in this old-again, new-again art. Accompanying essays by the exhibition's curator, Laura Hoptman, explore eight themes that she perceives in the field--Drafting & Architecture, Mental Maps & Metaphysics, Popular Culture & National Culture, Fashion, Likeness & Allegory, Envisioning a City, Science & Art, Comics & Other Subcultures, Ornament & Crime--and provide key impulses behind drawing's recent resurgence.

Condition: Muy bueno. : El arte del dibujo floreció en la década de 1990 y rompió significativamente con los principios del modernismo del siglo XX. Drawing Now: Eight Propositions examina este nuevo trabajo y muestra el dibujo como algo no menos aventurero y estéticamente satisfactorio que cualquiera de los métodos más recientes y aparentemente más actuales de la creación artística actual. Cuidadosamente ejecutados y altamente terminados, los dibujos explorados en este libro, que acompaña a una exposición en el Museo de Arte Moderno (en su hogar temporal en Queens, Nueva York) en 2002-2003, son en gran parte representativos y descriptivos, a veces con un interés en la narración de cuentos. Algunos muestran afinidades con la ilustración, la moda o los cómics; otros están más cerca de las variedades industriales y comerciales de dibujo de precisión, como planos arquitectónicos y representaciones científicas; otros toman ideas de las tradiciones del ornamento.
