Review

This volume and the exhibition it represents reflect the recent strong growth of interest in a field of study that has been somewhat in the shadows. The Courtauld Gallery in London holds a collection of roughly 120 Spanish drawings from the 16th to the 20th century. In an oversize format (10x11.5") allowing generous display of the images, this presentation contains highlights from the collection along with scholarly analysis of individual works and an informative essay on the history, theory, and practice of Spanish draughtsmanship and the various regional schools (Book News, Inc.)
