Finding Beauty

Artists see beauty wherever they go, whether it’s a vibrant bouquet of flowers, a misty mountain landscape, a rusty old car or a piglet wallowing in the mud. Some artists prefer to play with pencil marks until they find beauty in an emerging imaginary subject. For others, a deep emotional experience such as the birth of a child or recovery from a major illness drives them to express themselves in drawing. This 11th volume in the Strokes of Genius series celebrates artists’ ability to find beauty wherever wherever they are, while continuing the proud tradition of showcasing the best in contemporary drawing.
