Tate Papers no.18 Autumn 2012

This issue explores how drawing has been used by artists to record and represent unconscious or invisible forces that go undetected by the senses. Other topics include the reception of Anthony Van Dyck's work in France, the sexual imagery in the early work of John Everett Millais, and Allan Sekula's realist critique of postmodernism in Fish Story.
