Французский рисунок XVIII века из нью-йоркских коллекций --
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Pierpont Morgan Library, Cooper-Hewitt Museum (Smithsonian Institution),
The Frick Collection и 27 частных коллекций.
Drawings by acknowledged masters and lesser-known artists and a broad range
of subject matter characterize the 243 sheets reproduced in this volume.
Arranged chronologically and thematically, Eighteenth-Century French Drawings in New York Collections traces
the expansion of the Rococo style through the accomplishments of its most brilliant practitioners and through
its gradual displacement by the more spartan Neoclassical idiom, which accelerated during the political upheaval
of the Revolution and its aftermath.
The one hundred sheets included, many of them previously unpublished, present a broad range of subjects —
from genre, still life, and portraiture to studies for history painting — and are drawn from the holdings
of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Pierpont Morgan Library, Cooper-Hewitt Museum (Smithsonian Institution),
The Frick Collection, and twenty-seven private collections.
