Salvador Dali | Drawing

Art Movements and Styles ,
Drawing is perhaps one of the most natural and rudimentary activities we undertake as humans. As soon as we get our hands on something that leaves a mark, we begin to draw.
In art, it is considered a fundamental skill to master. For Salvador Dalí drawing was both a means and an end.
Meaning, a lot of what we have that count as “drawings” from Salvador Dalí are studies for much larger works, they are representations of his thought process, his creativity shifting and growing, and an insight to his unique perspective of the world.

Leonardo da Vinci | Come si deve figurare una battaglia

Art Movements and Styles , , ,
Trattato della Pittura - Parte seconda | Capitolo 145


Farai prima il fumo dell'artiglieria mischiato infra l'aria insieme con la polvere mossa dal movimento de' cavalli de' combattitori; la qual mistione userai cosí: la polvere, perché è cosa terrestre e ponderosa, e benché per la sua sottilità facilmente si levi e mischi infra l'aria, nientedimeno volentieri ritorna in basso, ed il suo sommo montare è fatto dalla parte piú sottile; adunque il meno sarà veduta, e parrà quasi del color dell'aria.
Il fumo che si mischia infra l'aria polverata, quando piú s'alza a certa altezza, parrà oscure nuvole, e vedrassi nelle sommità piú espeditamente il fumo che la polvere. Il fumo penderà in colore alquanto azzurro, e la polvere trarrà al suo colore.
