"Each of the 100 works in this unconventional selection is accompanied by an insightful commentary by a distinguished expert, providing a fascinating chronicle of five centuries of drawing." "Drawing Attention showcases the gallery's finest European and North American drawings. Demonstrating the AGO's commitment to acquisition and preservation at the highest level, this book celebrates a dazzling collection."--Jacket.
