This presentation of rarely seen drawings by so many artists from different cultural backgrounds alerts readers to fresh and startling connections between their work and gives new insight into creative processes. In the accompanying texts, key writers discuss the significance of drawing today. From the literary and theatrical influences on artists such as Joshua Reynolds and Henry Fuseli to the gestural acts of Francis Bacon and Cy Twombly, this book presents a unique view of drawing and its place in the history of art.
