Margaret Davidson: Leading with Drawing

Margaret Davidson: Leading with Drawing offers a double take on drawing, by featuring a selection of the artist’s works in conversation with drawings from the museum Permanent Collection, specially hand-picked by Davidson herself. Many of these pieces have never been seen before.

Margaret Davidson: Leading with Drawing speaks of the unparalleled surge that drawing as an art form has been experiencing in the art world. Passé notions that once relegated drawing as being a preparatory stage for painting or sculpture have long since been cast aside. Drawing is an intense, sensitive, compelling, personal, and utterly direct art form, today no longer governed by any particular imagery but encompassing a variety of approaches, including realism and abstraction.
