description: Startlingly original. - Steven Guarnaccia former op-ed director of the New York TimesFrom an accomplished practitioner curator and theorist comes Stick Figures: Drawing as a Human Practice to reset the terms for an ancient activity. D. B. Dowd embraces drawing as a process for everyone not just artists. This beautifully designed book uses a wonderful range of visual samples to explore an elemental human capacity. The artifacts of drawing (chiefly illustrations and cartoons) are rescued from outdated hierarchies of taste and engaged on their own theoretical and cultural terms.
