NEW YORK—Artists have been capturing their first thoughts in sketchbooks ever since paper was invented. As a visual diary or as a way of developing bigger projects, sketchbooks usually are not meant to be seen by the public. They are intimate records of an artist’s otherwise fleeting, creative process—of beginnings, wishes, plans, and visions.
This behind-the-scenes aspect of artists’ lives was put on display in “Sketchbook Vol. 1.” The exhibition included sketchbooks by the artists Dina Brodsky, David Morales Hernandez, Diana Corvelle, Dilleen Marsh, Evan Kitson, Guno Park, Joshua Henderson, Luis Colan, Marshall Jones, Nicolas V. Sanchez, Paul Heaston, Sarah Sager, Ted Schmidt, and Vi Luong.
