This is not a show we could have mounted at the Print Fair itself, as we are severely limited as to the amount of non-prints we are allowed to exhibit.  And yet, how logical a show it is.  All print makers made drawings, sometimes as a step in the making of a print, sometimes for another end entirely, sometimes purely for the drawing itself.  And what is perhaps astonishing is the variety.  There is no “typical” print maker’s drawing, but a vast assortment of styles and images from the sketchiest scraps to the most finished works of art.  Presenting these drawings apart from their authors’ etchings, lithographs and woodcuts, but surrounded only by other drawings, somehow elicits a different way of seeing them.   The familiar hierarchies have been removed and one may get a fresh, perhaps unexpected, view of a familiar artist or a pleasing introduction to one whose prints had never inspired further investigation.  Context is everything.
