Graphic beauty: Breathtaking drawingsFew artists can claim such tenacious fame across continents and centuries as Michelangelo Buonarroti(1475-1564). His achievements as a sculptor, painter, draftsman, and architect remain unrivalled and unique.
This fresh edition celebrates the artist's graphic work, with a selection of his mostmasterful and mesmerizing drawings.Gathered from some of the world's most prestigious collections, these works show the full ambition and reach of Michelangelo's practice, spanningarchitectural elements, facial expressions, and countless, meticulous anatomical drawings.
Whether finely-tuned or left unfinished, each and every drawing testifies to the artist'sdedicated scrutiny of the world around him and his compelling mastery of line, form, and detail.There is an intimacy in these works, too.
As different sketches occupy the same pages, and notes intersperse the drawings, we may not only marvel at the meticulously rendered textures or anatomically-perfected figures, but also feela spine-tingling proximity to the very process, as much as the product, of genius.About the series:Bibliotheca Universalis- Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price!Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing.Bibliotheca Universalis brings together nearly 100 of our all-time favorite titles in a neat new format so you can curate your own affordable library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia.Bookworm's delight - never bore, always excite!
