Greetings Art Educators,

I missed this article the other day. The title of the article didn't
catch my eye.

Art Review | 'Raphael to Renoir'
Where Lines Become a Kind of Language

Check out the slide show.

From the article:
>> Candy box displays like "Raphael to Renoir: Drawings From the Collection of Jean Bonna" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art are natural crowd pleasers, and for obvious reasons. They're very much about comparison shopping and personal taste. Relax-and-browse is their operative mode. If they are confections, their flavor still has range and intensities, from soft-center sugary to dense bittersweet. History is here if you want to find it, but if you don't, that's O.K. Enjoy.

The 120 European drawings in the Met exhibition make such a package.
Their owner, Jean Bonna, a Swiss banker, began his collecting career
as a bibliophile half a century ago and bought his first drawing only
in the late 1980s.

Yes, I did check this exhibit out before - just never got around to
posting it. I have a fondness for African textiles.
