Drawing, Je t’aime: Selections from the AGO Vaults
Drawings are among the most personal, immediate and experimental works of art. They bring us closer to the artist's thinking process than any other form of expression.
This special exhibition gathers together drawings from across time and place from all the AGO's collecting areas. Drawing, Je t'aime has been curated by members of the newly formed Print & Drawing Council (comprised of staff in the curatorial, conservation and programming departments).
Working collaboratively, they have made some surprising finds in the boxes in the Print & Drawing vaults. Their discoveries include over 100 rarely seen drawings by Jacopo Tintoretto, Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Robert Motherwell, Joyce Wieland and Annie Pootoogook; extraordinary sketchbooks by William Cruikshank, given to the AGO by the artist in 1909; and a series of vivid impressions of the Apollo 13 space voyage sketched by K.M. Graham in 1970.
