‘The Father of The Arts’:
Old Master Drawings Today

As the basis of every creative process, whether the artist
workedin clay, paint or metal, in 1550 Giorgio Vasari
claimed that drawing was indeed the ‘the father of all
our arts’: painting, sculpture and architecture.
While investigating the dual significance of the Italian
word ‘disegno’ in the 16th century, which envelops
both the physical act of drawing and the creative concept
of design, this lecture will provide the tools for discussing
today’s role of drawing, addressing problems of authorship,
attribution and authenticity through the lenses
of most current market results.

Speaker: Furio Rinaldi
