French nineteenth-century drawings and watercolors at the Brooklyn Museum
Kramer, Linda Konheim
French nineteenth-century drawings and watercolors at the Brooklyn Museum / Linda Konheim Kramer, Karyn Zieve, Sarah Faunce - 1st edition - New York : Hudson Hills Press in association with the Brooklyn Museum , 1993 - 144 p. : illus. ; 31 cm
This volume is part of an ongoing series devoted to the Museum's outstanding and encyclopedic collection of works on paper. It presents ninety-three drawings, watercolors, and pastels by some fifty artists.
In 1900 the more than five hundred gouaches and ink drawings made by James Jacques Joseph Tissot for his Life of Christ were purchased by public subscription by The Brooklyn Museum, and in 1992 a sketchbook by Tissot, related to this series, was also purchased for the collection. Over the intervening years nearly one hundred other works on paper by nineteenth-century French artists entered the collection. Many of them are by artists now considered to be the major masters of their time; but there are also works by other artists, both academic and avant-garde, less familiar to the American public today, who deserve recognition. This collection - which spans a century of creativity and a subsequent century of collecting, thus preserving a portion of our cultural and artistic heritage - is one of the significant holdings of works on paper at this great museum.
