Through the Sketchbook

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.

The Moroccan Sketchbooks (7 in total) 1832, marks a diversion for Delacroix from Paris and the life of a history painter, architectural painter, and of historical and contemporary events (from the French revolution to popular news items) and literature. He travels to Spain and North Africa, the landscape, and the way of life for more material.
