A Page from the #DrawingPapers Archive This page from Drawing Papers 36 features "The Spirit of Geometry (L’Esprit de géométrie)," made with gouache on paper by #RenéMagritte in 1937. The Stage of Drawing: Gesture and Act. Selected from the Tate Collection featured 145 works on paper selected by the artist Avis Newman in collaboration with Catherine de Zegher. The 2003 exhibition provided a memorable opportunity to view developments in drawing over the past three centuries through the eyes of an artist who has devoted most of her career to drawing. The exhibition featured a wide array of drawings from the mid-1700s to the 1970s by British and international artists and offered a remarkable survey of the formation of Tate's prestigious and rarely exhibited drawing collection. The Drawing Papers are a series of publications documenting The Drawing Center’s exhibitions and public programs and providing a forum for the study of drawing. -Kate Robinson, Bookstore Manager
