Name end paper. VERY GOOD ) ¶ A drawing of the nude is a most revealing form of artistic expression because it is a very private and personal one' . The drawing in this magnificent collection are mostly by ninteenth- and twentieth-century artists but range in time and style from French Court art of the early eighteenth-century to modern pop art. It is not an academic selection - it is concerned to capture the 'immediacy' of life drawing. As Mervyn Levy says, 'Usually such drawings are made with no thought of public exhibition; they posses the intimacy, often the embarrassing and unguarded intimacy, of diary entries."
