DRAWN TO GREATNESS: MASTER DRAWINGS FROM THE THAW COLLECTION
OPENS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3
Drawn to Greatness highlights 150 exceptional drawings from the Eugene V. Thaw Collection, considered one of the world's finest private collections of drawings. The selection of works on view encompasses five centuries-from the dawn of the Renaissance through the twentieth century-with examples of Rococo elegance, Neoclassical rigor, Romantic imagination, Impressionist experimentation, and a radically new formal vocabulary for the twentieth century.
These drawings show artists thinking through ideas, poking fun at contemporary society, implementing new techniques, and expanding into new markets. They chronicle evolving styles and media, and together not only tell the story of visionary collectors, but also illustrate the shifting role of drawing over time.
At 3 pm, join exhibition curator Jay A. Clarke in the auditorium for the opening lecture, "Drawing and Experimentation from Van Gogh to Pollock." Clarke addresses the liberation of drawing between the 1880s and the 1950s, considering how the very practice of drawing encouraged artists to grapple with changing modern forms and their markets as they worked in line, wash, and collage.
