Book Reviews of Vitamin D: New Perspectives in Drawing (Themes)
Book Review: Fell in love great for referencing
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a book that I recommend to artists. It's a great book to reference on when you have no clue on your next project or piece. I fell in love with the book when I had to do a book report on several of the artists presented in the book. I couldn't help but look at each page and read up on all artists, mind you I only had two hours to have the book since it was on special reserve in the library. So I decided to buy the book instead. A little pricey for me but bought it used instead. Still in great condition besides the jacket but I can careless. This book is a must buy!
Summary of Vitamin D: New Perspectives in Drawing (Themes)
Drawing has recently experienced a renewal of importance in the art world; in fact, it has rarely been as widely represented in the biennials, art fairs, and exhibitions as it is now. Similar in concept, scope and structure to Phaidon's successful volume Vitamin P, Vitamin D presents, in A to Z order, the work of 109 artists who have emerged internationally since 1990 using the medium of drawing. Whether representational or abstract, small or large in scale, using only one line or rich in colors and pattern, drawings have a highly descriptive and meticulously detailed quality that is being explored by an increasing number of contemporary artists. Extending beyond the traditional image associated with this medium, Vitamin D hopes to illustrate the complexity, variety, and relevance of the practice of drawing today.General Books
