Drawings in pen & pencil from Dürer's day to ours, with notes and appreciations

"Drawings in Pen & Pencil from Dürer's Day to Ours" by George Sheringham is a compilation of art critiques and historical insights from the early 1900s, taking readers on a tour of pen and pencil drawings throughout history. Starting with an apology for a missing contributor from editor Geoffrey Holme, the book studies the drawings of famous artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo, and examines the importance and changes in drawing styles over time. Sheringham's writing seeks to grow the reader's understanding of drawing as an art, explaining how artists use drawings to share feelings and ideas in ways that words cannot, and also gives his opinion on how artistic styles are valued by critics and the public . With a thoughtful tone, the book promises a look into the artistic expressions of history's greatest artists.
