One of America’s most remarkable living artists, Thornton Dial is widely recognized for his large-scale, multimedia assemblages, yet his most abundant body of work is his drawings, which he began producing in the early 1990s. Organized by the Ackland Art Museum, "Thornton Dial: Thoughts on Paper" will feature 50 of Dial’s earliest drawings from 1990-1991, a pivotal moment in his artistic career.
