Beginning in the Renaissance, drawing became the foundation for the academic principles of art—before an artist even began painting, they learned to draw. Since then, countless subjects have been rendered in graphite, chalk, and pastel; however, none has been more prominent than the human body. Because drawing the figure was a requisite skill, artists carefully studied the opening in june structure of the human body, at first using cast- plaster statuary and eventually from live models. A Edgar Degas naturalistic approach to drawing bodies prevailed French, 1834–1917 until the late 19th century, when many artists, Danseuse à la barre (Dancer at the bar), ca. 1885 liberated from past traditions, began to dabble in Charcoal and pastel on paper abstraction.

Raffael Courtesy of Nancy Hoffman captures the wonders that surround him at his Gallery, New York, NY home and garden in France, transforming what he sees into a heightened vision in watercolor. His large-scale works typically depict flowers, water, and fish swimming in ornamental ponds but Raffael asserts, “I don’t paint flowers; I paint energy.” Growing up in Brooklyn, he helped his mother with the fruits, vegetables, and flowers in her garden, where he came to regard the changing of seasons as a form of magic, “Seeing blossoms come alive is the same as watching a painting come forth out of the white space of a page or a canvas. The garden is another example of how one begins with nothing but seeds and the brown- colored space of the earth from which, little by little, the garden emerges.” In Moving Toward the Light, Raffael’s watercolors invite the viewer into moments of discovery, though a contemplation of nature and harmony.
