3. Art. The Albertina Drawings.

Author

Danto, Arthur C.

Subjects
*PRINTING, *PAPER, *TECHNOLOGY, *GRAPHIC arts, *PAINTING, *ART
Abstract

The article focuses on the utility of paper and printing technology. The invention of printing necessitated the production of quantities of reasonably priced paper. But the availability of paper in large quantities is also credited with the emergence of drawing as an autonomous mode of artistic expression in the early fifteenth century. Since drawing is the paradigm of artistic spontaneity, there is a felicitous irony in the fact that the mechanical has given rise to the spontaneous. Until an affordable supply of paper allowed drawings to be saved, it was common for them to be destroyed, in the course of transferring their images to the panels on which paintings were to be executed.

Author

Rosenberg, Karen

Subjects
*EXHIBITIONS, *ART exhibitions, *PAPER arts, *PAPER
Abstract

Is paper passe? Your answer will most likely depend on whether you're reading this sentence on newsprint or on a screen. But it's safe to say that artists and designers aren't ready to quit the stuff, at least by the measure of the latest show at the Museum of Arts and Design. They are, however, willing to pierce, shred, carve and slice it. ''Slash: Paper Under the Knife,'' the third show in the museum's Materials and Process series, explores the sometimes violent, always intricate art of paper cutting. (It follows ''Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting'' and ''Pricked: Extreme Embroidery'' in 2007 and 2008.) [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
