L.A. Louver is pleased to present an online exhibition, Leon Kossoff: Drawn from Revelry, launching February 11. Kossoff had a lifelong practice of drawing from the Old Masters, most often in the galleries of London’s National Gallery. He stated that “working from the Old Masters opens doors for you to go on with your own work...,” and as such he studied the classics intently and methodically. The focus in this presentation is on The Triumph of Pan and Bac- chanal Before a Herm, two series of images that grew from Kos- soff’s close viewing of a major exhibition of the work of Nicholas Poussin that took place at London’s Royal Academy in 1995.
