Drawn to Painting

Richard Kendall

Synopsis:
This elegant book, the first to be published on the current work of Leon Kossoff--one of Britain's most senior and distinguished artists--is based on an extraordinary series of recent pictures inspired directly from a specific group of paintings by Nicolas Poussin. For Kossoff, the process is not simply 'copying' but a fully engaged encounter.Supported by many previously unpublished statements by the artist and representing a life-time's reflection, these works represent a unique view of the past from the vantage-point of the past from the present, and an extended reflection on the essentials of art: drawing and color, composition and meaning.
