Introduction by Martin Yeoman
In the world of Art today there is so much confusion as to what is Art. For instance, drawing to some has been redefined asmark making. To me this is far too crude an expression to describe something that not only involves the total coordination ofyour eye, mind and hand but also all your feelings about what is in front of you and indeed around you at a specific point intime. Mark making by contrast is the difference between signing your name and taking a thumb print.
What sparks people off into drawing? In my own case I remember really enjoying it from the age of five. The desire grew insideme I think and later, by looking at books that had great drawings in them, with one book in particular on Rembrandt that fullyopened my aspirations. Within that book, it had the all-time great drawing of ‘Two women teaching a child to walk’ which wasprobably made in under a minute.
What an example! Maybe though it would mean nothing to you if you have no feeling for it. Those of us who wanted to drawwhen we were children would come back to a drawing such as this and sit and wonder at how someone had managed tocapture something so fleeting and convey such life. In my middle years I am still in the same state of wonder at that drawingand so many others, and will be till the day I die.
So if you are young or if you are old and have been reading this, stop now and sit for a very long time and look at Rembrandt’sgreat drawing reproduced opposite.
Then come and see the exhibition and enjoy the works of acknowledged Masters in drawing from the 19th and 20th centuryalongside people who draw today. Make your own mind up on how far, or even how not so far, we have got with this greatand strangely undervalued art.
