The Practice of Drawing
The art of drawing has existed for as long as humanity itself. Here we focus on the practice of drawing in the Western tradition. We ask why artists draw, what they draw, and how they draw, looking at the development of artistic drawing from the early Renaissance to modern times. We look at some of the most extraordinary drawings from collections around the world which are seldom on public display because of their fragile nature. Click here to explore our microsite
