Inhaltsangabe

Casa Buonarroti, the family residence of Michelangelo, is now a museum with large collections of paintings, sculptures, majolica ware, and archaeological pieces. It also houses the most famous collection in the world of Michelangelo's drawings. This volume is a record of the Michelangelo exhibitions at Atlanta's High Museum and at The Toledo Museum of Art, work chosen to show the more familial and intimate Michelangelo, and to provide more insight into the artist's working methods. Exhibited drawings represent every major medium in which Michelangelo worked: charcoal, pen and ink, pen and wash, red chalk, and black chalk. Works range from preliminary sketches to more finished works. The book is handsomely packaged, and text and drawings are given equal weight throughout. Oversize: 8<">x12.4<">. Annotation c.
