Drawing: Antony Gormley

Drawing: Antony GormleyDrawing: Antony GormleyNew essays by novelist Jeanette Winterson, art historian W. J. T. Mitchell, art theorist Margaret Iversen, and mycologist Merlin Sheldrake also provide thought- provoking and sometimes soul-­stirring responses to Gormley’s work. This book offers an accessible overview of his drawings, providing creative inspiration to those who would like to pick up a pen—or linseed oil, or milk, or blood, all of which Gormley has used—­for the first time, or anyone setting off on a journey "into the unarmed parts of our internal landscape, or out into the unknown." After all, as Gormley reminds us, "a day passed without drawing is a day lost."
