AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Bruno Munari
Before the Drawing

Out of stock book no longer available online (even when it appears to be purchasable).

How important is the sign for drawing? With this question Bruno Munari opens Prima del disegno, an edition belonging to the Block Notes series, created by Munari for Corraini in 1992: a free collection of projects with creative implications. A collection of ideas and examples of artistic practice as input for the 'game of the mind' for everyone, recognizable in its graphic presentation by its gray covers, pocket format, and the holes placed on the cover, which push the reader to 'peek inside' the book.
In this volume, the sign becomes the hallmark of freer experimentation, accompanied by sui generis captions in Italian, English, French and German.
The sign-making inventions of the pencil, left almost free on the paper, make this book a family album; a collection of all the portraits of that ink-mark that on paper becomes the beginning of a meadow, a poisonous insect, a spinning top that spins while staying still.

Munari B.; Before the Drawing. Paperback, 12 x 16 cm, 80 pages, multilingual; Milan, Corraini Edizioni, 1st edition 1996, 4th reprint 2008.

The volume is in excellent overall condition. The cover is well preserved. The binding is solid. The inner pages are clean, with no creases or stains. A superb collectible copy.
