Diagrams, Perspective, and the Unmoved Onlooker - a conversation with Richard Talbot
This 2013 conversation with artist and Professor of contemporary drawing Richard Talbot, explores the intersections of linear perspective, diagrammatic drawing, and scientific thought. The dialogue traverses the history of the "Unmoved Onlooker," the structural potential of the blank page, and the tension between mathematical systems and intuitive creation in contemporary art.
