Drawing

LE SALON D’AUTOMNE

When drawing was the basis of painting, sculpture and architecture, Michelangelo considered it « the root of all the sciences ».
Today, drawing has become an art in its own right. In the mid 19th century, Charles Baudelaire wrote: « drawing is a struggle between nature and the artist ».
In our changing world, this struggle can take the form of an embrace, an adversity or sometimes a loving dialogue. The drawing section of the Salon d’Automne presents works with various techniques: lead, ink, pastels, watercolour through means ranging from figurative to abstract art.
All these artists are, because of the unforgiving means, drawn to the essential.
