Synopsis
Excerpt from Drawing From Memory: The Cavé Method for Learning to Draw From Memory
Among the ancients, the knowledge of drawing was as familiar as that of letters; and how can we suppose it was not like the latter, an element of their education? The wonders of invention and science which shine not only in the relics of their sculpture, but in their utensils, their furniture, in every article they used, attest that their acquaintance with drawing was as extended as that with writing. There was more poetry with them, in the handle of a saucepan, or in the Simplest pitcher, than in the ornaments of our palaces.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a revolutionary approach to learning the art of drawing, advocating for a method that emphasizes drawing from memory, rather than relying solely on copying from life or relying on traditional academic methods. The author argues that drawing from memory is not only a key to unlocking creativity but also a vital skill for anyone seeking to engage in the world of art, from aspiring artists to those working in various trades. The book directly challenges the conventional wisdom of the time, critiquing the prevailing practices of art education that prioritize rote copying and mechanical techniques. The author argues that learning to see and understand the world around us, and to translate that understanding onto paper, is the true essence of drawing. The book is infused with insights from the authorââ â¢s experience as a teacher and artist, and draws upon historical and philosophical ideas to illustrate the significance of drawing from memory. Throughout the work, the author highlights the importance of fostering a keen sense of observation, emphasizing that true artistic skill stems not from copying but from internalizing the visual world and expressing it with unique and personal vision. Through compelling arguments and practical exercises, the book empowers readers to develop a method of drawing that is both intuitive and transformative, ultimately revealing the power of memory to ignite artistic potential. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
