I have’ em. Maybe you do too. Things you explore, collect, draw, in obsessive ways. This week on the Club, I look at a handful of artists who focus on one subject or approach and really dig deep.
As a result, they discover worlds within worlds. Their art turns out to be less about their subject than about something else — themselves, their way of seeing.
I find it obsessively fascinating. I hope you will too.
This week’s artists and books (click for more info):
- Peter Arkle:
- Blackstock’s Collections: The Drawings of an Artistic Savant by Gregory L. Blackstock
- The World of Donald Evans by Willy Eisenhart
I enjoyed viewing these books. Thank you for showing them.

Really enjoyed that. I am always looking for things that I haven’t drawn before, but this makes the opposite point, to keep on at the same type of thing. Thanks.
