The Thought of Drawing - Drawings by Kjarval

A talk about a selection of works from the recent exhibition The Thought of Drawing, which spans the artist’s entire career and his principal subjects – portrait, landscape and nature themes, and fantasies – guided by the principle of diversity in material and technique. Selected works from the exhibition will be on display. Drawing is integral to Kjarval’s entire oeuvre, and is in fact central to his expression, and to his creative thinking and exploration of reality and imagination that it entails. Kjarval was an extraordinarily gifted draughtsman, and at an early age he realized the importance of drawing and its close relationship with perception, the creative process, and inner life.
