abstract: "This book completes Professor Hartt's magnificent triology on the art of Michelangelo: the master's paintings, his sculpture, and now his drawings. It may be regarded in many ways as the culmination of the three, for Michelangelo's drawings, apart from being among the supreme achievements in the medium, are the most intimate record we possess of the workings of his creative imagination. They reveal not only his immense powers as a draughtsman, but also the dark recesses of his mind. Frederick Hartt discusses all the extant examples and examines in detail te artist's style. He gives unity to his theme by relating Michelangelo's drawing to his sculpture, architecture and fresco painting. Also included is a complete thematic catalogue of the drawings, which gives full notes on the large and complicated body of critical literature concerning them"--Front flap of dust jacket.
