Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to maritime prints, drawings and watercolours which is written for experts and enthusiasts alike. The text includes a historical survey tracing the development of marine art and exploring the technique and subject-matter of the pictures. Although the most famous seventeenth century Dutch maritime painters are covered, the author concentrates on lesser known (and less expensive) works from 1800 onwards that are readily available to the collector. The book addresses important questions about maritime drawings and prints, from the subject and location to larger questions of connoisseurship.

Book excerpt: Drawing was central to Cézanne's indefatigable search for solutions to the problems posed by the depiction of reality. Many of his watercolours are equal to his paintings, and he himself made no real distinction between painting and drawing. This book's six chapters are arranged thematically covering the whole range of Cézanne's oeuvre: works after the Old Masters such as Michelangelo and Rubens; his period as one of the Impressionists; his exploration of both portraiture and the human figure, including the magnificent bathers; his interaction with landscape, particularly in his native Provence and the dominating form of Mont Sainte-Victoire; and finally the magisterial still lifes. In the Introduction, as well as throughout the book, Lloyd sets the drawings and watercolours in the context of Cézanne's life and overall artistic development. The result is a greater understanding of the process that led to some of the most absorbing art ever produced.

Book excerpt: Vincent van Gogh drew thousands of images to better his style. He believed that drawing was "the root of everything".In just over a decade, he produced more than 2100 artworks, consisting of 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300 watercolors, drawings, sketches and prints. He produced nearly 150 watercolor paintings during his life. Similar to his drawings, Van Gogh often did watercolors as studies before doing an oil painting or as practice. As he continued to refine his technique, he used more and brighter colors in his watercolors. Though often they are far away from his bold brush strokes, the Van Gogh's watercolors are a unique in their use of clear and vibrant colors.

Book excerpt: Due to the high artistic quality of its holdings - which encompass some 25,000 drawings and 75,000 prints dating from the late Middle Ages to the present - the Staedel Museum's Department of Prints and Drawings is among the most prominent graphic art collections in Germany. It was founded in the eighteenth century and expanded in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. For reasons of conservation, works on paper cannot be displayed on a permanent basis like paintings, but only placed at visitors' disposal for viewing in the department's Study Hall. Comprising eighty superb drawings, this publication spans a period of nearly six hundred years: the oldest drawings depicted date from the early fifteenth century; the most recent were executed in the late twentieth. Nearly all of art history's most renowned draughtsmen are represented, for example: Durer, Raphael, Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, Watteau, Fragonard, Tiepolo, Cornelius, Delacroix, Daumier, Cezanne, van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Kirchner, Beckmann, Klee and Pollock.
