>
> Date: 10 October
> Speaker: John Willats
> Subject: drawing systems and denotation systems.
> John Willats is an artist and internationally renowned researcher in
> drawing. Co-author (with Fred Dubery) of Perspective and Other Drawing
> Systems (1983), he has developed an approach to the analysis and
> classification of drawings based on the types of drawing systems used, which
> include linear perspective, inverse perspective, oblique projection, and
> topological systems of organization. In his most recent book, Art and
> Representation (1997), John Willats has augmented this approach to include
> the various 'denotation systems' employed by artists through history.
> 'John Willats presents a new approach to the methods artists use to depict
> the world ... All art historians and critics as well as psychologists
> interested in drawing or painting will need to become familiar with
> Willats's approach. Art and Representation will create a considerable stir
> and will change the way both critics and the public think about art.'
> (Stuart Sutherland, Professor Emeritus, Sussex University).
