Drawings

A 3D virtual gallery of drawings. Chalk, charcoal and ink on paper: the private, thinking end of art, where you can still see the artist changing their mind.

Every piece in this online exhibition comes from the Art Institute of Chicago's Open Access collection, released under CC0. Each label gives the artist, the date and the medium.
