"Inventive Impressions: 18th- and 19th-Century French Prints"
2001-08-26 until 2001-10-28
Cleveland Museum of Art
Cleveland, OH,
USA
This exhibition complements French Master Drawings from the Collection of Muriel Butkin and emphasizes many of the artists in Mrs. Butkins collection. The exhibition also explores innovations in printmaking in France where, in the 18th century, new techniques for describing tonal values and imitating drawing media were exploited, and color intaglio printing was perfected.
In the 19th century, Edgar Degas and Camille Pissarro continued to experiment with intaglio techniques but also used the new medium of lithography. Lithographs by Toulouse-Lautrec, Vuillard, and Bonnard from the 1890s — the great era of color lithography in France — will be included.
