Color, Line, Light French Drawings, Watercolors, and Pastels from Delacroix to SignacDescription
This exhibition offers a rich exploration of 19th-century French art through the medium of works on paper, featuring over 70 exceptional drawings, watercolors, and pastels by artists such as Eugène Delacroix, Jean-François Millet, Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, and Paul Signac.
Spanning the Romantic, Impressionist, and Post-Impressionist movements, the exhibition reveals how French artists used line, color, and light to experiment with form, capture fleeting moments, and express mood and atmosphere. From vibrant landscapes and intimate portraits to quick studies and finished compositions, these works highlight the technical mastery and creative innovation that defined a transformative century in French art.
Drawn primarily from the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Color, Line, Light invites viewers to see how artists pushed the expressive boundaries of paper-based media, offering a fresh perspective on some of the most influential figures in modern art.Publication Details
