Drawing as Discovery: 500 Years of Drawings and Watercolors from the Permanent Collection showcases 100 stellar works selected from Memorial Art Gallery's holdings of over 2,000 drawings. The exhibition explores diverse drawings through the lens of artistic discovery rather than through academic categories, increasing accessibility to the delight and inspiration that comes from looking at exceptional works of art. Organized by artistic intent, the exhibition unites work across a breadth of cultures and time periods by the common principle that the very act of drawing is at the heart of artistic creativity. The exhibition includes a striking work on paper by Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, alongside works by Francisco Goya, Rembrandt van Rijn, Edgar Degas, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Kara Walker.
