Tracing Vision: Modern Drawings from the Georgia Museum of Art

The latest in the Georgia Museum of Art s series of publications on drawings from its permanent collection, Tracing Vision focuses on nineteenth- and twentieth-century works by a huge range of artists. Contemporary feminist artists Lenore Tawney and Nancy Grossman are represented alongside Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, and Chuck Close is closely followed by American Scene artist Howard Cook and turn-of-the-century muralist Kenyon Cox. Carol Nathanson, who wrote by far the largest number of entries, also supplies a marvelous introductory essay that highlights the ties among this diverse selection of drawings and focuses on the importance of the medium throughout art history.
