From the Sketchbooks of the Great Artists' is a procession of unusual and seldomseen drawings form the Middle Ages to the present. For each master, Claude Marks, guest lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and himself a practicing artist, has written a discerning profile, telling where these works came from and how they were discovered. In addition, there are generous explanatory captions, illuminating the techniques and media that were used. There are 280 drawings from these private notebooks and sketch pads. Many of them have been rarely seen and never published before. They were found in museums and private collections all over America and Europe: the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and a dozen other American collections; the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Royal Library of Windsor Castle, the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford; the Cabinet des Dessins of the Louvre, the Musee ToulouseLautrec of Albi, the Musee Ingres at Montauban; the Uffizi, the Accademia, the Museo Correr; the museums of Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Holland. There are over 65 great artists represented: Rembrandt, Raphael, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Picasso, and, in fact, almost all of the greatest names in Western Art. Each artist is represented by a selection of from two to eight of his leastknown, most revealing sketches
