This first volume of Drawings in Midwestern Collections offers a full listing of old master drawings from collections throughout the Midwest. Thoroughly researched, this important reference book introduces a corpus of the rarest of European drawings through the year 1500.

Each of the thirty entries in this volume is written by a scholar who has immediate access to the artwork itself and who is a specialist in the art of that period. In addition to basic information about the work, the authors have commented on each drawing's artistic significance and on problems surrounding it. Included also are reproductions of the drawings as well as numerous illustrations of comparable works from other American and European collections.

Drawings in Midwestern Collections presents previously unpublished technical information on many of the drawings, argues for the new attribution of several of them, provides an up-to-date summary of scholarship on each work, and, taken as a whole, provides insight into the diversity of the holdings in midwestern museums. Published by the University of Missouri Press.

The second volume, Drawings in Midwestern Collections: the Sixteenth Century, also edited by Burton L. Dunbar and Edward J. Olszewski, is forthcoming.
