History
"Heretofore underdrawings, the foundational art of great artists, has only been exposed to and examined by galleries and academicians.
Such discoveries release moments of inspiration, excitement, hesitation, or struggle as artists made their ideas, sensations, and emotions visible, bringing their work ever closer to the perfection of form and expression they sought".
