"Drawn to Painting: Leon Kossoff drawings and prints after Nicolas Poussin"
2001-03-17 until 2001-05-27
National Gallery of Australia
Canberra, AC, AU Australia

Several years ago, a major exhibition of the work of Nicolas Poussin at the Royal Academy in London so impressed Kossoff that he sought permission to work in the galleries before the exhibition was open to the public, drawing and etching after several paintings. This exhibition, of 44 drawings and etchings, is the result of such encounters - an exciting marriage of Kossoff's vigorous lines and Poussin's dramatic classical and biblical subject matter in a dynamic Baroque style.
