5.0 out of 5 stars
the art of naivete,
By
This review is from: Picturing and Poeting (Hardcover)
This book exudes unrefinement- with its exposed cover boards, doodles, and hand-made collages of graphics, photos and rubbish. This is not accidental, and will make perfect sense to artists of all stripes who want a good art book that isn't about technique and isn't a collection of beautifully rendered masterpieces. What makes this book so "good" is this lack of refinement itself, plus some words of guidance to make sense of it all. In his words, Alan's drawings show "a naivety not so easy to capture with a more calculated approach." And that is the better half of art- a blatant playfulness that defies conventions and labels. Losing this playfulness is no less devastating than losing technical proficiency.
This is the lesson I learned. What will this book say to you? |
