Reviews
"Richly enjoyable. . . . Lucidly written, delightfully illustrated. Steinhart considers the phenomenon of drawing from practically every conceivable angle and the result is as stimulating as it is enlightening." Los Angeles Times "Steinhart is one of those lucky writers who can't help being entertaining, even when he's making a serious inquiry. He reminds us that there is something 'innate and human' about the impulse to draw what we see. I wasn't long into the book before I felt I was in the presence of a friend." -Edward Sorel, The New York Times Book Review "This rare, transcendent book . . . deserves to be part of the rarefied canon of nonfiction that venturesgracefully, delightfullyfar beyond its expected scope." The Plain Dealer "Fascinating. . . . The overall effect of this engaged and engaging book is to make its lucky readers feel that only by picking up a pencil and drawing can we tap into 'a repository of wisdom and energy, purpose and comfort' that is larger than all of us."

Synopsis
A naturalist and writer who also loves to draw, Steinhart investigates the obsessions, rituals, and passions that accompany the act of figure drawing., To draw is to understand what we see. In The Undressed Art , writer-naturalist Peter Steinhart investigates the rituals, struggles, and joys of drawing. Reflecting on what is known about the brain's role in the drawing process, Steinhart explores the visual learning curve: how children begin to draw, how most of them stop, and what brings adults back to this deeply human art form later in life. He considers why the face and figure are such commanding subjects and describes the delicate collaboration of the artist and model. Here is a powerful reminder that no revolution in art or technology can undermine our vital need to draw., To draw is to understand what we see.

    Typically bungling performance from Evri (Hermes): the package was said to be ‘out for delivery’ on 2 September, but it did not arrive until 8 September, after I had expended much effort in trying to find out what had happened to it. In contrast, top marks for the seller: accurate description, excellent packaging, prompt transport from USA (until Evri got its hands on the package), and good-natured support when I explained the problems I was having with the notoriously inefficient delivery firm.

    Shipping was insanely fast! Packaging super tough! Came as described and beyond the value. One of my new favorite additions to my books.
