Book Description: 
Whileoften viewed and studied separately, drawings and prints have always beenclosely intertwined. They facilitated and generated the production of oneanother, and in some instances, clear distinctions between the two dissolved.Many artists created drawings specifically intended for translation intoprint, and while an even greater number used prints as a training tool, copyingfrom them to hone drawing skills. This reciprocal relationship goes evendeeper, however, as innovative artists made created fascinating hybridworks that blurred the boundaries between the two media, pushing againstmodern definitions and hierarchies.Lines of Connectioncharts these historical and geographical continuities for the first time bybringing together works on paper of superb quality, foregrounding issues ofartistic process and collaboration, technical innovation, and creativeingenuity. Featuring over 170 prints and drawings by such artists as AlbrechtDurer, Parmigianino, Hendrick Goltzius, Maria Sibylla Merian, Rembrandt vanRijn, and William Blake, this catalogue is a rich narrative introduction tothe compelling, yet understudied, relationship between drawing andprintmaking.
