Artist
to Artist: Inspiration and Advice from Artists Past and Present
Artist to Artist brings together more than one thousand quotations from
artists on 57 subjects ranging from creativity to solitude, technique
to talent. Clint Brown drew these quotations from years of reading about
art and artists, most especially works in the artist's own words.
The result is a wealth of witty, wise, thought provoking, and inspiring
words from Old Masters such as Leonardo daVinci, Michelangelo, and Titian;
Impressionists such as Monet, Degas, Renoir, Matisse, and van Gogh; and
modern masters from Pablo Picasso and Henry Moore to Andy Warhol and Robert
Rauschenberg. Arranged alphabetically by subject, with an index to help
readers find quotes by individual artists, the book creates a sort of
ongoing dialogue among the 207 artists represented. Available
in paperback or hard cover.

Drawing From Life, By Clint Brown
The
leading textbook for figure-drawing classes, Drawing From Life provides
a clear, comprehensive, and thought-provoking guide to drawing the human
form for anyone
interested in exploring this time-honored artistic tradition. For centuries,
drawing the human figure has given artists the tools and vocabulary for
creating paintings, sculpture, drawings,
or prints from Renaissance classical to contemporary expression. Drawing
from Life takes a natural, progressive approach to drawing the figure
beginning with quick gesture sketches to attune the artist's eye, providing
techniques for mastering the difficult elements of proportion and perspective,
exploring the expressive use of line and value, examining the anatomy
of
the human form and its influence on structure and gesture, and ending
with an invigorating discussion of the predominant approaches to using
the figure in art today. The wealth of exquisite drawings from master
artists through the ages supports the concepts presented
in the text.
Among
the Third Edition's highlights:
• Clearly explained techniques for mastering the art of figure drawing.
• Studio exercises that provide direction for developing your expertise
and
• Guidance and encouragement for becoming your own best critic.
