About
Up to the 17th century, drawing was inherently considered a study, sketch or a preparatory work for an artwork, an architectural design or a machine. Drawings are fragile in nature, turning yellow on exposure to light, gathering dirt and crumpling easily – they were therefore considered fleeting, or lessor works. Drawings were not preserved and even less exhibited than paintings, for example. Yet drawing is the first form of human artistic expression. The animal drawings in the Palaeolithic caves of Lascaux dating back around 15,000 years bear witness.
In the 20th, and even more so in the 21st century, drawing became an art form in its own right. It is no longer exclusively a technique of visual representation on a flat surface. It is developing alongside visual arts through history towards an independent art form. Artists seek to broaden drawing possibilities through different mediums (coloured pencils, biros, pastels, felt tips and charcoal among others), different techniques (writing, typography, sketching, collage, engraving, etching, photography, imprints and more) and on new material (card, plastic, wood, textile, concrete, photographic paper, tracing paper and others) for artistic, industrial and commercial aims.
Drawing is shifting away from the traditional fine arts field and broadening into graphic arts, such as architectural and machine designs, textile patterns, ceramics studies, fashion sketches and comic strips. Since the end of the 20th century, artists have been drawing with computers on tactile screens with stylus pens. Material lines make way for smooth lines as the new, digital art transpires. Today, drawing has naturally left the framework of the medium. It occupies space and animates it: see Jean Michel Alberola’s neon light drawing; Bernard Moninot’s spacial drawing with textile partitions; and Jonathan Lasker’s thick, pattern-forming pastes.
Both artists and public demonstrate growing enthusiasm for this artistic discipline, reminding us that drawing is an aspiration that allows us to express a narrative line, material physicality, fantastic landscapes, mysterious architecture, experimental graphics and imaginary beings
