This beautiful, landmark book is the first to trace the history and reveal the highlights of the Art Gallery of Ontario's important and inspiring collection of drawings and watercolours. In this unconventional selection of 100 of the drawings, ranging from the fifteenth to the mid-twentieth century, each work is accompanied by an insightful commentary by a distinguished expert. Images and text combine to provide a fascinating chronicle of five centuries of drawing, from Renaissance Italy to modern Canada. A fresh and lively tour of a distinctive international collection, including works by Rembrandt, Turner, Gauguin, Chagall, Picasso and Pollock.
