Sketchbook Traveler: Hudson Valley: Sketchbook Traveler

James Lancel McElhinney

Keeping visual journals has been popular for centuries among artist-travelers like Albrecht Drer, J. M. W. Turner, Katsushika Hokusai, and David Hockney. Explorers like Jacques le Moyne, Alexander von Humboldt, Charles Darwin, and Marianne North also recorded their journeys in sketchbooks and diaries. Topographical drawing was essential. Knowing what destinations looked like let voyagers know they had arrived. Carrying this concept to the next level, Sketchbook Traveler expands plein air painting beyond the range of easels and backpacks, providing educators with instructional concepts. It gives professional artists many new (and old) ways to hone mobile sketching skills. Inviting readers to explore their surroundings through drawing and writing, Sketchbook Traveler is a field guide to mindful engagement with personal experience in ways that make every day an adventure.

Recenzii

"Part artistic history of the Hudson River Valley, part travel guide, and part how-to-manual on how to be a sketchbook traveler McElhinney's volume is as absorbing as it is beautiful. McHlhinney is that rare contemporary artist who at once seems to live in our 21st century moment of environmental consciousness and at the same time follow in the footsteps of 18th century topographic explorers and 19th century picturesque artists. His knowledge is voracious, and his writing style witty and gregarious. Above all his sketches are transportive, and inspire the reader to travel along in his footsteps, and above all be not afraid to venture out on their own path, to turn looking into seeing, and to record their own journeys." -- Anna O. Marley, Ph.D. Kenneth R. Woodcock Curator of Historical American Art
