The paintings of Leon Kossoff are beginning to be seen as amongst the most sensous, profound & poetic that have emerged during this century. The drawings which precede and accompany the paintings are less well known though equally powerful.
It is through drawing that Kossoff makes his first contact with the subject, whether it be the friend who visits the studio, or the landscape of the streets & buildings of London. Drawing is the essential beginning which develops into a relationship between the artist and the subject.
