本书研究了一系列不同艺术家的作品和他们的创作方法，展示了从如达·芬奇和米开朗基罗的15、16世纪的大师，到当代艺术家的艺术作品，考察了素描的过程和实践。本书并非按照时期或风格安排划分这些作品，而是按照创作这些作品的思路类型，读者对这些世界上伟大的艺术家的思维过程有了新认识。这种按主题而不是按时间顺序排列的结构，使历史上的素描作品与现当代作品并置，以呈现来自不同时间、地点的艺术家如何利用素描来记录、探索和发展思路。

本书为配合大英博物馆的展览“思想的线条:从米开朗基罗到布里奇特·赖利，大英博物馆藏素描作品” (Lines of Though: Michelangel to Bridge Riley. Drawings from the British Museum) 而出版，收录了大英博物馆精选的版画和素描，以及一些知名度较低的当代作品。

Looking at works from a range of different artists and their various approaches, Lines of Thoughts examines the process and practice of drawing, showcasing artworks from 15th- and 16th-century masters, such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, right up to artists working today. In arranging them not by period or style, but by the types of thinking that give rise to them, readers gain fresh insights into the thought processes of some of the world’s greatest artists. This thematic rather than chronological structure allows to place historical drawings side-by-side with modern and contemporary works, to show how artists from widely differing times and places have all used drawing to record, explore and develop ideas.

This book, which ties in with the British Museum's exhibition ‘Lines of Thought: Michelangelo to Bridget Riley. Drawings from the British Museum’, includes highlights of the British Museum’s Prints and Drawings collection, as well as some lesser-known contemporary works.
