Learning To Draw
Skylight Press in Gloucestershire has published Basil King’s sequence Learning To Draw/A History. I’ve written on the work in progress elsewhere, in #15 of Big Bridge.Significantly King gave the task of assembling the sections to Daniel Staniforth at Skylight. Significantly because this underlines the fact that this book isn’t an exercise in high modernism: it has a democratic rather than an autocratic provenance. It says ‘enter reader where you wish and read as you wish’.
