ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
Philip Rawson, Drawing,1969
"Drawing" explains what is drawing from a very fundamental level: why drawing is the most fundamentally spiritual art activity, how does it work with human mind( from the painter's view), how to experience a drawing/painting from spectators' aspect. The connection of this book to my thesis/graduation work is, it clarifies the definition of drawing/painting, and the difficulties to get to know all the information from the painter.
Harold Rosenberg, The American Action Painters, 1952
The painter no longer approached his easel with an image in his mind; he went up to it with material in his hand to do something to that other piece of material in front of him. The image would be the result of this encounter.
A painting that is an act is inseparable from the biography of the artist. The painting itself is a "moment" in the adulterated mixture of his life—whether "moment" means the actual minutes taken up with spotting the canvas or the entire duration of a lucid drama conducted in sign language. The act-painting is of the same metaphysical substance as the artist's existence. The new painting has broken down every distinction between art and life.
