This exhibition features drawings from the renowned
James T. Dyke Collection, and includes work by many contemporary masters,
as well as classic modernists. Among the featured artists will be Claudio
Bravo, Elaine de Kooning, David Hockney, John Currin and many others. Despite
the advent of abstraction, drawing has remained at the core of art teaching,
and with the return to figuration over the last 10 years, it has once again
become the most important aspect of an artist's training. This exhibition
underlines the primacy of drawing. The selected works were chosen purely
on a visual and aesthetic basis, without any reference to historical trends
or comparisons.
