This handsome catalogue will shine a spotlight on the Wadsworth Atheneum's
impressive collection of European drawings, watercolors and pastels. It features
renowned artists, including Courbet, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Schiele, Klee, Miró and
Picasso, and includes fresh scholarship.
The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art's rich collection of European drawings,
watercolors and pastels is little-known and rarely seen. Since the mid-nineteenth
century, the museum has acquired by purchase and gift a diverse group of
nearly 1,250 European drawings of impressive quality. Paper, Color, Line: European Master
Drawings from the Wadsworth Atheneum showcases some sixty highlights on view for the
first time in decades.
This long-overdue exhibition is a unique survey of artists working in drawing media
over a span of more than five hundred years. The museum's holdings are particularly
strong in works from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Renowned drawings
by Gustave Courbet, Edgar Degas and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec are included in this
exhibition, as well as highlights by Egon Schiele, Paul Klee and Joan Miró. The collection
is distinguished by its theatrical designs, particularly those linked with the Ballets
Russes, with contributions by Pablo Picasso, Léon Bakst and Natalia Goncharova.
Significant works from the Renaissance to the Rococo by artists such as Giorgio Vasari,
Carlo Maratti and Jean-Baptiste Greuze emphasize the timeless appeal of drawing and
will complement the overview.
The catalogue of the exhibition will be the first catalog devoted to European
drawings at the Wadsworth Atheneum. It will present fresh research on the objects as
well as on the history of collecting European drawings at the museum. The catalogue
is written by Oliver Tostmann, Susan Morse Hilles Curator of European Art at the
Wadsworth Atheneum.
