Una biografÃa del dibujo.
(Closed form. A Biography of Drawing)
ORGANIZED BY:
IVAM (Valencian Institute of Modern Art), Spain
CURATOR:
Valerio Adami
THEME:
The impulse of putting something down on a piece of paper, on a support, has always been associated with the desire to say something about the world. These thoughts have been intuitive and often expressed in a symbolic way, but they are fundamentally thoughts about the way of being in the world of man and his skill in understanding and improving a life context. Drawing is not only making lines or stains, it is marking a surface with an impression, mark or footstep, dot, line, etc. that bears witness to the pressure exerted by a hand, somebody's sign or expression.
Drawing is the oldest, most immediate and personal way of reproducing human nature and vision. Drawing is seeking an image that grasps, illustrates and synthesizes a vision. The vision may be external, something physical, or it may be internal, intimate and psychological. The image produced by a vision is an interpretative transcription but it is, above all, an experience.
CONTENTS:
