James Elkins: Why Art Historians and Critics Should Learn to Draw

There is little theorising on the connections between the experience of painting a picture and the sense of painting gained by reading history or criticism. What might historians and critics miss if they do not have some experience of drawing and painting?


There is little theorising on the connections between the experience of painting a picture and the sense of painting gained by reading history or criticism. What might historians and critics miss if they do not have some experience of drawing and painting? In this year’s Peter Fuller Memorial Lecture, James Elkins explores these questions and draws out some of the consequences for the theories disseminated in the contemporary art world and for the relationships between art practice and art writing. James Elkins (University College Cork/Art Institute of Chicago) is the author, most recently, of Visual Studies: A Skeptical Introduction
