Selections from the Museum’s Collection of European Master Drawings

Feb 14, 2012 - May 13, 2012
To mark the reinstallation of the collections, the Museum is presenting masterpieces from its collection of drawings.The Museum possesses a small but distinguished group of Old Master and early modern drawings of high quality and great diversity, including sheets by leading artists associated with Dutch, Flemish, Italian, French, German, Austrian, Russian and British schools.The selection featured in the Graphic Arts Centre encompasses Medieval prayer book illuminations, theatre designs and book illustrations, quick compositional sketches and highly finished presentation drawings, with subjects ranging from landscapes to portraits and abstractions. Despite this wide range, what is universal is the evidence in each sheet of the exciting process of the artist evolving his ideas, working directly on paper as he conceptualizes and realizes his vision. Over seventy works will be exhibited.

The distinguished and wide-ranging artists spanning seven centuries who will be presented include Baldung Grien, Batoni, Beerbohm, Bonnard, Burne-Jones, Courtois, Daumier, ¶Ù´Ç°ùé, Fantin-Latour, Fragonard, Gainsborough, Goltzius, Goncharova, il Guercino, Hodler, Ingres, Kandinsky, Klimt, Kupka, Lievens, Manet, Maris, Millet, Momper, Pissarro, Puvis de Chavannes, il Salviati, Renoir, Ruskin, Schiele, Signac, Sisley, Turner, Van Loo, Vanni, Vuillard and Watteau. A beautiful and delightful smorgasbord for the eye and the mind, this presentation features drawings that are rarely exhibited because of their sensitivity to light. It will provide new insight into the heart and inspiration of the artist.
