Book excerpt: This beautiful, landmark book is the first to trace the history and reveal the highlights of the Art Gallery of Ontario's important and inspiring collection of drawings and watercolours. The AGO founded its Print and Drawing Department in 1976, and over the past 30 years it has become one of the fastest-growing collections in North America. In this unconventional selection of 100 of the drawings, ranging from the fifteenth to the mid-twentieth century, each work is accompanied by an insightful commentary by a distinguished expert. Images and text combine to provide a fascinating chronicle of five centuries of drawing, from Renaissance Italy to modern Canada.
