Drawings have for centuries offered viewers the most immediate and intimate glimpse of an artist’s perception and sensitivity. From the great preparatory outlines of Renaissance masters such as Raphael and Andrea del Sarto to the most intimate sketches of the English Romantics, drawings have exerted a great appeal to collectors and art historians. Since the early 20th century, artists have made the argument that drawings can possess inherent qualities that make them a major art form in their own right. By the 1950s, artists were challenging ideas of line and space through the use of unconventional media, energizing the power of drawing itself.

This intimate yet forceful exhibition presents an eclectic group of artists who have abandoned (or intensified) pen and pencil to create powerful expressions through line. Included are works by Keith Haring, Paul Manes, Will Barnet, Ilya Kabakov, Joan Thorne and Andy Warhol.
