NEW EXHIBITION
Artists and Printers: Prints and
Books from the Late 19th Gentury
through February 26, 1995
In the 1880s and 1890s Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edgar Degas, Pierre
Bonnard, and numerous other artists explored and expanded the
possibilities of the graphic arts. Many of their colorful innovations and
well-known images are shown in this exhibition
of prints and books from the permanent
collection. For more than a century their work
has inspired artists, printers, and collectors.
Included in the exhibition are Degas's At the
Louare, for which he used the American
painter-printmaker Mary Cassatt and her sister
as models, Cassatt's own Barefoot Child, and
numerous Toulouse-Lautrec color lithographs,
including the familiar lockey.
Bonnard is credited with creating the first true
modern liare d'artiste, or artist's book. His
Parallilement, as well as Toulouse-Lautrec's
Yaette Guilbert and books by Aubrey Beardsley
and Maurice Denis, demonstrate artists' active
involvement in the design and creation of books
in the 1890s.

millennium opportunity to see the best works of Rubens and friends

sumptuous works by Peter Paul Rubens and 57 of his contemporaries.
