Description

One of the finest collections of master drawings in America is at the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts. To celebrate the museum's centennial, the collection's greatest masterpieces of draftsmanship are being exhibited in Worcester, followed by a tour. These one hundred works, in a broad variety of media, are reproduced in full color, each accompanied by a comprehensive essay. They range from a medieval illuminated choir book page; through old masters Rubens, Guercino, Ribera, the Tiepolos, Boucher, Copley, Prud'hon, David, and Rowlandson; nineteenth-century masters Ingres, Millet, Degas, Gauguin, van Gogh, and Homer; modernist masters Kirchner, Modigliani, Sargent, Grosz, Rivera, Marin, Noguchi, and Giacometti; to recent works by David Hockney and Sam Francis - seven centuries in all, the entire spectrum of Western draftsmanship.
