Drawings and prints - an exhibition in Brooklyn

Two weeks ago today, I saw the Rembrandt to Picasso: Five Centuries of European Works on Paper exhibition (June 21–October 13, 2019) at the Brooklyn Museum.

Today I've loaded my photos from the exhibition into an album on my Making A Mark Facebook Page - also called Rembrandt to Picasso: Five Centuries of European Works on Paper  - for all those who love drawings and prints but were unable to see the exhibition.

The exhibition included fine art prints - using various methods by

• Albrecht Durer (1471-1528)
• Rembrandt van Rijn (1606 -1669)
• Honore Daumier (1808 - 1879)
• Edgar Degas (1834 - 1917)
• Paul Cezanne (1839 - 1906)
• Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 - 1919) 
• Paul Signac (1863 - 1935)
• Henri de Toulouse Lautrec (1864 - 1901)
• Pierre Bonnard (1867 - 1947)
• Edouard Vuillard (1868 - 1940)
• Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954)

Plus drawings in different media and watercolour sketches by

• Rosa Bonheur (1822 - 1899)
• Jean-Francois Millet (1814 - 1875)
• Paul Cezanne (1839 - 1906)
• Berthe Morisot (1841 - 1895)
• Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890)
• Suzanne Valadon (1865 - 1938)
• Kathe Kollwitz (1865 - 1945)
• Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
• Amadeo Modigliano (1884 - 1920)

I looked through their Collection categories but they don't have a category for drawing (1751 items) and/or print (3052 items) and/or works on paper. More's the pity. However you do get to see rather a lot of unsorted works which fall within these categories - and it's worth taking a look.

They've also got lists of the titles and dates of past exhibition - but no digital archives of the works that were on show in these exhibitions.

I do hope that museums will soon realise that by showing digitised images after the event that will generate more visitors in the future!
