Drabinsky Gallery is proud to host the world premiere exhibition of works on paper by Leonard Cohen.
Drawn to Words, a visual record of 40 years, is an exhibition of works from Mr. Cohen's archive of drawings and journals. Mr. Cohen, poet, songwriter and novelist, has maintained a visual art practice since his early days in Montreal and Hydra. Until now, his drawings have been private visual records of things, places, and people captured in his sure and modest hand. Later, these drawings found their way onto CD covers and most recently into the pages of The Book of Longing. This is the first time the drawings have been exhibited as another manifestation of Leonard Cohen's talent.
Each limited edition pigment print (edition size 100) is signed, numbered and titled by Leonard Cohen.
In describing his art practice, Mr. Cohen has written
"From a mirror on my desk
In the very early morning
I copied down
Hundreds of self portraits
Which reminded me of one thing or another".
The drawings in this show will remind each of us of "one thing or another", perhaps most specifically that some artists have limitless talents. Mr. Cohen is such an artist. |
