The Sketchbook

A lucky stroke in art history

By: Gerd Presler

Sketchbooks are an outstanding feature in more than a few exhibitions: they have a downright prominent place in showcases, above them monitors where all sheets can be seen on touch screens – a visual pleasure and an exciting event. Unfortunately, however, many people continue to be rather baffled by sketchbooks. What goes on there? Most are convinced that the purpose of a sketchbook is to prepare for a work – typically a painting. Its pages contain impressions of a preliminary nature, sketched in a few strokes, which are completed at another time and another place. But things have changed, and this is a development we have to examine at long last in greater depth: sketchbooks can accomplish more; they plough a field other than that of “pre-liminarity”! To date there is no publication that explores their true significance within the creative process. Is it not called for to take a close look at the weight artists attach to the “silent companion in their jacket pocket”? This is the purpose of this book.

Edvard Munch - The Scream – End of an error

By: Gerd Presler

Errors that determined what was said and written about the great Norwegian over the years and decades. They started with a wrong title for the world-famous work. It is not called “The Scream” at all! And they ended with the ignorance and dismissal of one version of the painting of the Screaming through Nature – perhaps the most important one. It is to be found on its back – and was simply passed over.

In the Beginning - Childhood drawings by eminent artists

By: Gerd Presler

This study takes up the lost thread and continues it – to the present. I asked artists who are crucial in shaping today’s art world with their works for drawings from their childhood and adolescence in order to get to the roots, the origin, and the conditions of their work; in other words, to those conditions under which a talent starts out, evolves, and builds its initial foundations. What happens there is precious and well worth our attention. It is no less than the attempt to find the “building blocks of creativity”.

FRÄNZI - End of an error. Three "Brücke"-Artists - One Model

By: Gerd Presler

What was it that fascinated the three painters? In an environment suppressed by provincial, deadlocked standards, Fränzi embodied the kind of freedom that was maintained only in distant archipelagos, a freedom that expressed uninhibited nudity and the joy of movement. A celebration, an inspiration for the painters.
