<p>The artist Claude Lovat Fraser supported Gaudier in several ways, including the gift of tickets to Regents Park Zoo in London. There Gaudier spent his weekends sketching the animals so quickly that  the ink was often still wet as he turned  the page. With a few elegant lines and  no shading, he managed to convey  three-dimensional form and capture  a momentary view of a beast in movement. Resting or alert, standing or pacing,  each animal's unique personality  is encapsulated in these drawings.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>
