Delve into Canada’s premier collection of international drawings and discover never-before-seen artworks straight from the vault. Founded in 1921 and the first of its kind in the country, the National Gallery of Canada’s Department of Prints and Drawings boasts ever-evolving, world-class holdings of historical drawings dating from the 15th to the 20th century, in every medium – from graphite to ink, pastel to watercolour. Enjoy this rare opportunity to view works by Gustav Klimt, Théodore Géricault and Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, among many others, including newly acquired sheets and little-known but historically significant drawings that for conservation reasons are usually kept in the dark. The selection is wide-ranging, featuring everything from preparatory works for paintings to subjects drawn from history and mythology, portraits, landscapes, forays into abstraction and poignant explorations of the human condition.
Celebrate the legacy of the Department of Prints and Drawings first-hand through this captivating exhibition and richly illustrated catalogue marking its recent 100-year anniversary.
Feuille à feuille. La collection de dessins dévoilée is organized by the National Gallery of Canada. The publication is made possible with support from the Getty Foundation through its “The Paper Project: Prints and Drawings Curatorship in the 21st Century” initiative.

Figure, 1974
Ashevak’s exaggeration of features and imaginative use of whale bone helped define the expressive style of the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut. The dissimilar eyes, which signify exceptional sight, and the mittened hand, a symbol of spiritual ability, together suggest that this figured is a powerful otherworldly being.

Flagrant délit. La performance du spectateur is an ambitious exhibition which attests to the National Gallery of Canada's ongoing commitment to contemporary Canadian art. Eleven artists and collectives present an occasion for us to explore our roles as active participants in the artistic process; the active exchange between viewer and object becomes as significant as the artwork itself. The exhibition catalogue documents sixteen large-scale sculptural installations, while the essays provide illuminating perspectives on the artists' works in Flagrant délit.
