Horses – Through the Sketchbook

In the early 1800s, Géricault’s sketchbook studies capture the spirit of horses and riders at rest and at work. Both are common subjects in his paintings.

Graphite, and watercolour.

Artist:Théodore Géricault.

What has the sketchbook been in the past and what can it be today? Together this website demonstrates how sketchbooks cross disciplines, skills, cultures, gender, and class etc., to gain a better understanding.

The sketchbooks appear here not necessarily for the 'name' of the artist, but for the different thinking and seeing through the sketchbook.
