About this book
A drawing can match its subject closely and still lack a clear artistic purpose. Harold Speed begins with that problem in this 1913 handbook, drawing on his own art-school training and his encounters with older paintings. He asks students to think about what they want their work to convey, alongside learning to observe and handle their materials. Chapters distinguish work built around outlines from work built around areas of tone, with further attention to portraits, visual memory and practical methods.
Speed also examines the feelings that different shapes and arrangements produce. His discussion moves from the varied carving of Gothic buildings to the strict unity of classical architecture, then considers the calm suggested by a horizontal line and the upward force of a vertical one. For readers studying drawing today, the book offers a way to connect technical decisions with the character of a finished picture.
