grouped into six sections. An overall chronological survey, representing
highlights from the collection, is punctuated by three `focus' years -
1859, 1877 and 1895 - when Leighton's drawing production is set into
contrasting moments from his career. Each of the six sections is preceded
by a short introduction to establish the details of Leighton's biography,
and to outline how his use of drawing and technique evolved.
The catalogue also includes two new essays on Leighton and his drawings and
a handlist of the Leighton Drawings Collection at Leighton House Museum.

From the Back Cover
Academy from 1878-96), was one of the great draughtsmen of the nineteenth
century. Following his death in 1896 his extraordinary studio house became
a museum, and the Leighton Drawings Collection was established with the
support of the Prince of Wales and numerous personalities from the worlds
of art, literature, and politics. For Leighton, drawing was both a
necessity and a pleasure, and the rich collection of his work at Leighton
House Museum reveals the importance that the practice of drawing, and the
drawings themselves, held for the artist.
This catalogue of the first major exhibition of Leighton's drawings
includes two new essays exploring the formation of the Leighton House
Drawings Collection and the significance of drawing to Lord Leighton. These
are followed by a fully illustrated catalogue of the exhibition, which
includes comparative images of Leighton's finished works. Finally, there is
a handlist of the complete Leighton Drawings Collection, still housed
within the artist's former residence in Kensington, London.
The exhibition represents the culmination of the Leighton Drawings Project,
which also involved fully cataloguing and conserving the drawings. The
project was realised with the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund.
