This volume is dedicated to the international artist Kata Legrady's graphic work, through a selection of drawings, sketches and preparatory studies published on the occasion of the exhibition at Fondazione Mudima in Milan. Through the graphic work gathered in this volume, we discover her creative praxis which, according to Arturo Schwarz, "is determined, to a great extent, by her unconscious; the work has a playful dimension; she observes the world with a gaze that has conserved the innocence, curiosity and inventiveness of childhood". Finally, an essay by Bazon Brock brings a deep insight on the importance of drawing in the practice of contemporary art.
David Rosenberg is an author and a curator. Bazon Brock is professor emeritus of aesthetics and cultural education at the Bergische Universitat in Wuppertal, Germany.
