Drawn to painting

"Between 1995 and 1999, Leon Kossoff, immersed himself in looking at the work of the seventeenth-century French artist Nicolas Poussin." "Throughout his career, Kossoff has worked from paintings by the great artists of the past drawing from them as he does from daily life, until both become part of the same working environment. However, the arrival of a major Poussin retrospective at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 1995 gave Kossoff the opportunity, for the first time, to spend day after day surrounded by his source of inspiration, drawing quickly and incisively with charcoal and pastel or, more remarkably, straight on to etching plates. This book, containing over fifty full-page colour illustrations, is the first publication to examine this important new body of work."--BOOK JACKET.
