Description

"Showcasing the riches of the Morgan's collection and encompassing a broad chronological and geographical scope, one hundred drawings from the fifteenth through twentieth centuries have been selected for their outstanding quality and art historical significance with an eye to conveying the breadth and depth of the Morgan's holdings. From Leonardo to Pollock: Master Drawings from the Morgan Library also chronicles the history of the collection, including sheets from the initial group of drawings purchased by Pierpont Morgan in 1909 to notable acquisitions and gifts since the institution's founding in 1924." "This publication presents a variety of types of drawings - from preliminary sketches to highly finished studies - featuring a wide range of media, namely metalpoint, chalk, pen and ink, and water color."--Jacket.
