On drawing in general We can situate the origin of drawing in the process of human development and the early graphic activities related to neuromotor and perceptive developments of the species, activties and forms of behaviour at the source, among other modalities, of the various graphical forms of communication which "culminate", so to speak, historically in writing. Thus considered, drawing, that is, the graphic act, its procedures and results, is an important element of human intellectual and emotional life; it is both the source and the product of developments of perception, of manual ability, of symbolization, and of the interrelated capacities of cognition and expression in social life. This characterization is relevant for the understanding of drawing as an artistic discipline in our time, as the cultural context today, marked by technological development, transforms the disciplines, pressing their boundaries as it modifies our means of knowledge, communication and expression, relating and transforming in depth the "means of production" in general, and consequently our material and symbolic ways of life. On drawing as art Drawing is both form and discipline. The autonomous discipline (that is, drawing considered and appreciated by itself) is based on the form which is also an "infrastructural" elemen of several other disciplines such as painting, design, architecture, etc. In the comparison and distinction between, for example, drawing and painting, it has been said that drawing is what remains of painting when color is removed. An operation that emphasizes the ideal nature or ideal element characteristic of drawing-a more abstract element by contrast to the essential, unmediated sensuality of painting-and also discloses drawing as an initial moment, level or basic element of the visual creation of forms in the arts of spatial representation , including the arts of space-time experience such as dance, film, among others. Point → Line → Plane → Figure, the primary generative elements of spatial analysis and representation appear in drawing as "concrete abstractions" and characterize its essential functions of mediation in the process of mapping space-time relations, in processes of identification and projection, in the construction of the experience of self and of the world. If we remove the element of color from painting, what remains is the delimitation of forms by the essential, "primitive" contrast between light and shadow. In this way, drawing can be considered as the elementary or primary way of graphical organization of the relations between lights and darks generating the forms and the rhythms of spatial representation. As an autonomous or artistic form, drawing is also a "last" or final form, both synthetic and dynamic, that is, based on a relative economy of means, self-sufficient and, at the same time, implying a space of future developments as a generative form (the same consideration applies to the use of color in the drawing). Drawing is concomitantly and essentially, both complete and incomplete form and process, the embodiment of an essential tension between being and becoming. As synthesis and, at the same time, as the overcoming of form by form, drawing is art itself.

Closed access. drawology & drawology: one year on are curated by Deborah Harty as part of a wider research project entitled ‘drawing is phenomenology’. The practice-led research utilises drawing, theory and philosophy as a means to test out this premise. For further details of ‘drawing is phenomenology, please see: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/ microsites/sota/tracey/space/projects/phenom/dh1.html This is an exhibition catalogue in which Deborah Harty also has exhibits.

Abstract from the book: Juan Martínez Moro, La ilustración como categoría. Una teoría unificada sobre arte y conocimiento, Gijón, Trea, 2004. 246 pp. ISBN: 84-9704-122-4 This book addresses the problem of the interrelation between art and knowledge from the definition of an object of study in which both factors inevitably concur: the graphic illustration. For this, it starts from a concept of illustration that, beyond the common utilitarian and subrogated valuation of the text, is deeply involved with the psychism, culture, art and Western science. Thus, what is not only a creative genre is outlined, but a category of a double nature, that is, aesthetic and epistemological. The graphic illustration belongs to an area of image creation in which two factors that have revolutionized modernity are linked: information and visual communication. From the Renaissance, the graphic illustration would serve for the definitive implantation of new visual paradigms through the culture of the book, finding its moment of greater diversity throughout the XVII century. More recently, the means of graphic reproduction have come to be imposed on the set of historical disciplines of the image, appearing today at the very core of an increasingly influential parcel of art, of strong epistemological depth, which is being consolidated by the incipient digital culture In summary, put in relation the prolix episode of the Baroque book with some of the most recent fronts of creation opened by art -in both manifestations of an explicit will to communicate knowledge through the visual image-, we propose a unified vision of the paper of the graphic image in Western culture.

Is a lack of a definition, a position of ambiguity, desirable in response to the question: what is drawing? This paper presents a view taken from two traditionally distinct fields: art and design; design and technology. This view is formed through the research collaboration and co-editorship of TRACEY: the journal of contemporary drawing, and the pedagogical development of a Masters programme in visualisation by the authors. This view is that a lack of definition is not only desirable, it is also a necessity.
Abstract Painting Now (symposium paper)
Pictures, Truths and Methods: From Function to Form in Abstract Painting2019 •
This paper takes Patrick Heron’s assertion as to the abstract nature of painting as a starting point for a phenomenological investigation into the way in which abstract works comport themselves. How do abstract paintings attain meaningfulness, and along which communicative channels is meaning attainable? Perhaps in opposition to Picasso’s denial of the possibility of abstract art, and affirmation of the vitality of figurative painting (and restatement of: ‘the power of the object’), Heron presented an alternative idea; declaring all painting to be, in effect, of the abstract. In positing an abstract primacy to one’s experience of the world in painting – Heron’s thesis, I will argue, opens more doors than it closes. In support of his hypothesis, Heron drew together the terms: ‘space’, ‘colour’ and ‘form’ – the bedrock of countless claims regarding abstraction’s truth – and invoked an: ‘abstract reality’, which painting (including that which is usually taken to be figurative painting) is seen to embody. The relationship of abstract painting to the world has proven to be a problematic one. To revisit it is to wrestle with the notion of resemblance, and therefore to speculate as to how it is that one thing is able to point to another. In this work I will examine the degree to which abstraction – as idea – is compatible with an understanding of the serviceability of pictures, and, in so doing, shed light on the extent to which pictures might operate within painting as both language and something else. Central to this is a consideration of the limits of that which is deemed communicable; the method of comprehending abstract painting’s truth(s); what it is that the spectator is able to bring to the table; and how this bringing to can be woven into a fuller conception of abstract painting’s particular operability…from which colour, form and space might be made sense of. I will position abstract painting as an involvement: a form of engagement from which the spectator might come to better understand an engagement with form.
