Discover the scenes of daily life and delicate dabs of color that transformed the history of art.

Sarai van de Boel daagt de lezer uit om met een filosofische benadering van...

Vlaamse tekeningen uit de 16de en 17de eeuw behoren tot de hoogtepunten van de westerse kunstgeschiedenis. Kunstenaars maakten tekeningen als ontwerp voor andere kunstwerken, om afzonderlijke motieven te bestuderen, om herinneringen vast te leggen, om een repertorium van studiemateriaal aan te leggen… Soms waren tekeningen ook autonome kunstwerken. In From Scribble to Cartoon staan functies, technieken en materialen van de tekenkunst centraal. De lezer wordt uitgedaagd om voorbij het afgebe...
