French Nineteenth-Century Drawings in the Robert Lehman Collection
November 19, 2002–February 9, 2003
Robert Lehman Wing
Organized to coincide with the publication of the Robert Lehman Collection catalogue of European 19th- and 20th-century drawings, this exhibition touches on many of the great trends in French drawing of the time: the heroic Neoclassicism of David; the refined classicism of Ingres; Delacroix's expressive Romanticism; the richly textured landscapes of the Barbizon School; the figure studies of Degas and Renoir; Seurat's luminous sheets of shaded crayon; and the jewel-like watercolors of Paul Signac and Henri-Edmond Cross. The selection captures another facet of the taste of a great American collector famous for the range and depth of his interests across the entire history of European art.
