Summary:

"Master Drawings from the Cleveland Museum of Art is a sumptuous introduction to one of the greatest American collections of works on paper. Curator Diane de Grazia and the senior staff of the museum lead the viewer through works spanning more than 500 years. Included are figure studies by Michelangelo and Drer, key drawings of the early Baroque period by Barocci and Guercino, masterpieces of social observation by Goya and Daumier, and outstanding sheets by nineteenth-century French masters including Gericault, Degas, and Toulouse-Lautrec. Twentieth-century masters Picasso and Paul Klee are also represented. Produced to accompany an exhibition of these rarely seen works, this volume will be treasured by those who love the art of drawing.
