Drawing Acts : Studies in Graphic Expression and Representation

Rating:
Summary: Drawing acts is a classic
Review: As someone who is writing my dissertation on drawing, I can tell you that this is one of the great books on the subject. Rosand writes beautifully and with great feeling. He makes you feel the hand of the artist (be it Michelangelo, Rembrandt, or Picasso) at work, and that is what drawing is all about.

Rating:
Summary: Loss of time.
Review: I cannot believe the mish mash (see what I mean) written in Drawing Acts. And every 5 pages there is the word which should be used sparingly. I am always defiant when some one uses it out of context i.e. Hegel or Marx. I had hoped Rosand would deal with connaisorship. Instead he rambles on what the artist's hand should or shouldn't be doing and how to analyse it. Loss of time.
