Today sees the opening of Lines of Enquiry, a special exhibition of drawings from Leeds Art Gallery’s nationally renowned collection of 10,000 works on paper.
The Trust is pleased to support this display of fascinating drawings from the eighteenth century to the present day. The selection includes many sketches and preparatory drawings, offering insights into the creative process of individual artists, including Edward Burne-Jones, Frederick Shields, Edward John Poynter, Frank Brangwyn and Walter Sickert. Often never intended for public view, these drawings capture moments of experimentation, and refinement — tracing how initial ideas evolve into fully realised compositions.
The exhibition continues until 11 April 2027.
