Abstract
The exhibition of Swiss drawings which travels from Washington, D.C. (October 7 -29, 1967) to New York (Pierpont Morgan Library: November 15, 1967 - January 2, 1968), San Francisco (M.H. de young Memorial Museum: January 14 - February 12, 1968) and Chicago (Art Institute: February 24 - March 26, 1968) 1) poses two problems:
1) Why did drawing and generally graphic expression play such an important role in the work of Swiss artists from Urs Graf to Giacometti?
2) What was the role of Swiss art within the European creative community, in other words, what is its qualitative position?
