Word and Image: Works on Paper from the 15th Through 20th Centuries
Drawn from the DMA鈥檚 collection, Word and Image: Works on Paper from the 15th Through 20th Centuries focuses on artists who blurred the boundaries between art and text. Biblical journeys, whimsical adventures, and cautionary tales are among the subjects depicted by artists including Pierre Bonnard, Rembrandt van Rijn, Eug猫ne Delacroix, Olga Vladimirovna Rozanova, and Salvador Dal铆. Artists began experimenting with etching and engraving techniques after the introduction of the printing press in 1440.
