Artists often swear by drawing, proclaiming its importance to any creator’s development in any medium. Moreover, Australian master Rick Amor once remarked that drawing is “the most direct and intimate expression of an artist’s sensibility.” Whatever you may believe, the finest examples have come together within a renowned gallery that merits a great deal of attention from connoisseurs and collectors.
