Impressionism: Masterworks on Paper
October 14, 2011–January 8, 2012
Impressionism: Masterworks on Paper presents 125 drawings,
watercolors and pastels by some of the greatest artists in the history of
Western Art. Active in France during the second half of the nineteenth century
and closely associated with avant-garde movements, artists such as Manet, Degas, Renoir, Pissarro, Seurat, Gauguin, Cezanne, Van Gogh, and Toulouse-Lautrec created works on paper that may be less well-known than their paintings but which are just as significant. Organized by the Museum in partnership with the Albertina in Vienna, the exhibition demonstrates
how these artists chose to emphasize drawing, thereby ceasing to recognize the traditional distinction between drawing and painting.
