I created this blog to generate conversations about what the figure is in a contemporary art context for my students in the Saturday Studios Figure drawing class.

Daumier rocks
One of the great 19th century drawing masters. Daumier, teaches us a lot about gesture and simplicity in drawing.
Daumier is great.
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me of Alrecht Durher.
(He is of course not nearly as satirist as Daumier)
One of my favorites is, "The Knight, the Devil and Death"
