About this title

Synopsis

Cultural Writing. Art. WHY DRAW A LANDSCAPE talks about the relationship of the self to the real world, and looks at different approaches to landscape by eleven painters and sculptors whose styles ranges from Realist to Conceptual. This book follows Kathan Brown's well-received WHY DRAW A LIVE MODEL? (also available from SPD) about which Artforum's Bookforum commented The next best thing to being there. And from Contemporary Impressions: Brown's style feels like a conversation with a friend. Includes 83 color plates.
