Author Description

"Of all the modern arts, drawing is the most resistant to definition. The Museum of Modern Art simply calls every unique work on paper a drawing. Here, therefore, are works in the traditional drawing media-pencil, ink, charcoal, and so on-but also watercolours, pastels, and other related forms. Many of these works are classics of their kind-among the greatest of all modern drawings-but some are suprisingly little known. Artists represented include Arp, Brancusi, Cezanne, Ernst, Johns, Kandinsky, Klee, Malevich, Matisse, Miro, Picasso, Pollock, Rauschenberg, Seurat, van Gogh and many others."--BOOK JACKET.
