Elizabeth Newman: Drawings

This beautiful volume traces the links between Elizabeth Newman’s drawing practice and wider oeuvre. As Erik Jensen writes in his accompanying essay "her drawings are stubborn and deliberate and curious and patient" – they are acts of discovery that are, as Newman says, about "going to the nothing... to what is most me". Often radiant with colour, much of the work here is strikingly immediate, playful, visceral. Also includes an interview between Helen Hughes, Francis Plagne and Newman.Co-published by Neon Parc and Discipline, Elizabeth Newman: Drawings is the sister volume to Elizabeth Newman: Still makin’ history....Melbourne-based artist Elizabeth Newman uses painting, printmaking, installation and found objects to explore, interrogate and apprehend questions that revolve around the philosophical and social conditions of art.
