When is a drawing a finished work of art? In the 19th century, artists made large and ambitious “exhibition watercolors” for public display that could hold their own with oil paintings. For private collectors, they also made smaller works. And sometimes, artists made personal drawings for a friend or family member.
This exhibition celebrates highly finished drawings that explore rich uses of color and complex compositions. It features Getty-collection works by Edgar Degas, Gustav Klimt, Odilon Redon, Sarah Stone, and JMW Turner, among others.
This exhibition is presented in English and Spanish. Esta exhibición se presenta en inglés y en español.
