Essai sur la dialectique du dessin
Essai sur la dialectique du dessin is a 1907 French-language essay on drawing by Jean de Boschère, published in Brussels by Librairie Nationale d'Art & d'Histoire and G. Van Oest, aimed at readers of art theory. Its pictures are reproductions of old master drawings, a woodcut-style saint, and simple diagrammatic face studies, which show how drawing reduces a face to a few lines and how a figure's pose and hat can carry character.
