Exploring the world through drawing
08.11.2024 - 23.02.2025 | Special exhibition | Exhibition catalogue
Hamburg State and University Library
7.11 - 20.12.2024
Drawing as a technique for exploring the world is the focus of a cross-institutional cooperation project being developed by the Hamburger Kunsthalle (Kupferstichkabinett) with the University of Hamburg (Department of Art History) and the Hamburg State and University Library.
Two parallel exhibitions will present the drawing learnt at the academies and in the artists' studios on the one hand and the amateurish drawing practised in private on the other: In the Harzen Cabinet of the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the focus of the presentation is on hand drawings from the 15th to 19th centuries, which show the potential of artistic-scientific drawing as an instrument for imparting knowledge and gaining insight. Selected depictions of learning situations in studios and academies will also be on display.
In the Hamburg State and University Library, an unexplored compendium from the late 17th century by Joachim Etzekiel Levezow will take centre stage, bringing together drawings from the fields of anatomy, antiquity and natural history. The Levezow album served to record visual information and a topical order of knowledge, making the drawing book a compendium of the binding nature of aesthetic norms and available knowledge.
This collaborative project presents art history as a discipline that works with images and conveys the relevance of the development, documentation and recording of knowledge content in a digital world.
Curators:
Dr Andreas Stolzenburg, Prof. Dr Iris Wenderholm
Hardcover | 21 × 28 cm | 392 pages | 243 colour illustrations | German language
