Drawing, an integral part of 19th-century academic training and art-making, is the focus of the third collaboration in three years between the Dahesh Museum of Art and Syracuse University. The Essential Line: Drawings from the Dahesh Museum of Art, a new exhibition opening this winter at Palitz Gallery/Lubin House (February 9 - March 24, 2011), explores the nature of drawing in the 19th century in all its variety, exploring techniques, materials, subjects, and purpose.
This is the first time the Dahesh Museum of Art’s important drawing collection has been exhibited in depth, with 40 rare drawings by such well known artists as Lawrence Alma Tadema, Rosa Bonheur, Léon Bonnat, Paul Delaroche, Gustav Doré, Jean Lecomte Du Nouÿ, Frederic Lord Leighton, and Tommaso Minardi, as well as other lesser known but talented draftsmen.
