Modern artists experimented with new techniques in pencil drawing, etching and printmaking. Pencil drawing became integrated with other media such as ink, watercolor and collage allowing artists to create works that combined the precision of pencil with the expressive qualities of other mediums.
Here, we present a collection of works that focus on the artists' use of raw pencil, ink and etching. From Delaunay’s geometric forms to Diebenkorn’s delicate lines and Tobey’s calligraphic abstract compositions, these techniques left a visible record of the artist’s hand — marks that are essential to the final artwork.
