| book description |

This book investigates important and illuminating aspects of Al Taylorâ€™s drawings, which numbered over five thousand at the time of his death. It includes a chronological survey of Taylorâ€™s drawings from the mid-1980s, when he abandoned painting in favour of sculpture and drawing, and highlights the combination of technical refinement, humour, and sensuousness that characterises his works on paper. Stunning reproductions of the works, which were inspired by such ordinary things as tin cans, pet stains, and broomsticks, reveal the drawingsâ€™ minute details, nuanced shading, and playfully agile pencil lines. Lively texts explore how the rich and complex visual sensibilities of Taylorâ€™s drawings resonate with that of late Renaissance and Baroque Old Masters. The book also examines Taylorâ€™s innovative approach to process and materials, such as photocopier toner, with its intense black, and the extreme white of correction fluid. Created with equal parts humour and technical virtuosity, and informed by scientific models as well as everyday minutiae, Al Taylorâ€™s magnificent drawings are meditations on form and structure that stand as testament to great draftsmanship.
