“Drawing is the Root of Everything”
In this statement Vincent van Gogh expressed the commonly held concept of the centrality of the diligent practice of drawing for almost all of visual art. His friend Paul Gauguin added poetically, “Draw out of nature by dreaming in her presence.”
Perhaps best described as an eclectic art foundry, the Bolinas Drawing Group has existed for well over thirty years. Over the decades, many West Marin artists have been members and hosts. At present, its veteran member is Vickisa, and the newest addition has been Ann Vuille. The group’s size is largely determined by the studio space available. For a few years now, the group has met twice a month at Harriet’s Bolinas sculpture studio.
While all artist members practice drawing together from live models as their muses, it is the only truly common denominator for their art. Highly diverse in style, materials, media, and size, the work produced by each artist in their own studio varies greatly, while still containing somewhere the commonality of drawing together.
The exhibition at Sausalito Center for the Arts is intended to showcase this variety as well as its common root.
