This catalogue finally got to my turn on Friday, Jan 3 (library hold list). I've learned a lot from it, would probably get a lot out of another viewing, but on the last day? Forget it! No chance of getting near the pictures I really want to see again. But Oh! the book is heavy. I think I'll be glad to give it back. I'm very glad I didn't buy it! Still, the articles are quite accessible, which isn't always the case. I do get amused at the long discussions of whether or not a piece was finished, what it means that some parts are detailed, other parts more vague. You want my opinion? He thought with his fingers, drew what caught his attention, and kept the drawings because he didn't have an iPad with a camera to hold all these details for him. If you are interested in Dürer, and can get hold of the catalogue, it's worth reading. I'm reading the German, but it is also available in English, and the Albertina uses good translators. (One place where I often cheat and read the English rather than the German.) Much more pictures than text, of course, but still a fair amount of text. As I said above, it was accessible, a lot of it pointing out how his drawings were sometimes part of designing a larger work, but often just his working things out, but then later being pulled out to provide the basis for various figures in the large works. They showed illustrations of both their works and other museums' works that are related to the works on show. I enjoyed the text, I learned quite a bit from it, and it increased my appreciation of the pictures. It's just a really big heavy object. About 2.5 kg. For me that means it has to be supported on a table, chair arm, or something that is NOT me. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Rediscover the drawings of Albrecht Dürer, one of the most prominent Renaissance artists, known as an incomparable painter and draughtsman with a keen eye for the natural world. During his lifetime, Dürer found tremendous success as a painter and printmaker, taking commissions from prominent figures such as Frederick the Wise and Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. His drawings and studies reveal his interest in human proportions, anatomy, and perspective. Featured in this book are Dürer's drawings from the Albertina Museum's preeminent collection including family portraits, studies of animals and plants, and studies of the human body. This book showcases more than 100 of Dürer's drawings including Hare, Self Portrait at the Age of 13, and Melencolia I, along with paintings and prints. Featuring scholarly essays and beautifully reproduced works, this book shows the reader not only how important Dürer's drawings are to his own oeuvre, but also how he helped drawing become an appreciated medium in its own right.

As is the nature of the Albertina museum, the book focuses on Albrecht Dürer's drawings, but includes some paintings and woodcuts too. The exhibition held 205 works, and there are 32 illustrations of other works not included in the exhibition. Most if not all famous Dürer drawings are included - the exhibition had loans from 23 other museums around the world.
