The treatment of light and shadow is one of the building blocks of drawing.

Highlighting drawings from the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum, as well as works from the British Museum, Musee du Louvre, and others, and featuring masterful works by such artists as Canaletto, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn, Odilon Redon, Edgar Degas, and Georges Seurat, Paper and Light will entice readers to look longer and more closely at drawings, deriving an even deeper appreciation for the skill and labor that went into them.
