The present catalogue offers the first complete inventory of the artist’s drawings, dating from the late 1940s till the very last works drawn in hospital in 1973. An attempt has been made to arrange the 620 drawings chronologically or thematically, basing on their stylistic features and iconographic contents. Among them there are portraits and “Academic” nude sketches, preparatory studies for sculptures and large-format drawing showing abstract organic forms, made purely for the sake of drawing. One can find here both large-size drawings prepared for exhibitions or sale, as well as random “drawing- notes” – the artist’s ideas put down on casual scraps of paper. All drawings (some of which were executed in series consisting of several variants) are illustrated and described in detail. The drawings and about 60 sculptures, also shown on the exhibition, are accompanied by a rich body of scholarship on Szapocznikow’s art (13 essays by art critics and artistfriends of the sculptress), among others – critical texts exploring the role of drawing in her work as a sculptress.
