Ten Years Later. . .

Nearly 20 years ago I refocused my creative practice on painting in travel-journals. More than ten years ago, New Arts Publishing in Litchfield, Connecticut released Mapping and Mobility: The Sketchbook Art of James Lancel McElhinney.  At that time, most painters were still focused on producing art for the wall. It is gratifying to see that more than ten years later, many artists are using the open page-spread of sketchbooks as substrates for their paintings. Not that I would dare claim to have revived this historic pratice, but its beneits are incalculable, as ways to transform personal experience into knowledge and ideas.  —JLM. July, 2024

Gesture/Mapping/Writing With James McElhinney And Emma Shapiro

gesture_mapping_aIn this drawing event, participants respond to observation via movement, working from a live model—performance and graphic artist Emma Shapiro. Exploring visual experience through gesture puts the act of drawing in dialogue with poses generated by the model. A series of exercises on regular white copy paper leads the participants to a fresh understanding of drawing as a path from vision to knowledge. The class culminates with a giant floor drawing in which “everyone is on the same page.”

  • Date:  November 19, 2013
  • Time:  7:00 pm to 10:00 p.m.
  • Location:  The Art Students League, 2nd floor, 215 West 57th Street, New York

Tiepolo, Guardi, and Their World: Eighteenth-Century Venetian Drawings

tiepolo_1997_27_2The Morgan’s collection of eighteenth-century Venetian drawings is among the world’s finest, with more than 300 sheets by renowned masters Giambattista Tiepolo (1696–1770) and his son Domenico (1726–1804). Drawn entirely from the museum’s holdings, Tiepolo, Guardi, and Their World features a selection of more than one hundred works on paper and chronicles the vitality and originality of drawing during Venice’s second Golden Age.
