BEAUX ARTS ED

The sketches and drawings by 19th-century French painter Eugene Delacroix in this collection illustrate the versatility of an artistic genius as his style evolved into an intense synthesis of forms. Graphic techniques, including charcoal, red chalk, pastel, graphite pencil, pen, watercolor, and wash, distinguished Delacroix's attempt to honor tradition while still testing its boundaries. Inspiration drawn from nature, memory, invention, and literary texts reflects his desire to interweave past and present through lines, colors, and sensual curves.

Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), along with Poussin and C,zanne, is probably responsible for one of the great turning points in the evolution of French art. A man of the Enlightenment who was equally inspired by the moral examples of classical literature, he altered the course of pictorial art in his time, leading the 'return to order' that characterizes French neo-classicism. Draughtsmanship was central to his innovation. David drew the antique ruins of Rome constantly during his first visits, perfecting his sharp, accurate graphic style. He was just as rigorous in the preparatory drawings for his great pre-Revolutionary works (The Oath-taking of the Horatii, Brutus) and the huge scenes depicting Napoleon's epic exploits. The Louvre holds the most important collection of David's drawings in the world, including two of the twelve Roman albums and several pocket-size sketchbooks. These detail the genesis of famous compositions including the Sacre and The Distribution of the Eagle-Standards . Othe

Jacques-Louis David based teaching in his studio on the study of antiquity and on imitation of the Classics. As a result, it soon became synonymous with cold, static academism. Today, this opinion still prevails: David's pupils, supposedly locked into rigid indoctrination, are seldom credited with the slightest spirit of innovation. Yet the drawings of Drouais, Hennequin, Wicar and Navez, rightly considered David's most orthodox disciples, show a clear ability to create new forms with their own personal vision of antiquity. Meanwhile, G,rard, Girodet and Gros, while continuing to demonstrate their mastery of established classical drawing styles, began taking their art in directions that led to the overturning of David's approaches and prefigured the major innovative trends of the twentieth century.

<p>Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (1796-875) was the leading figure of the Barbizon school in France in the mid-nineteenth century and a pivotal figure in landscape painting. This volume - from the series dedicated to drawings in the Louvre, which also holds the largest collections of drawings by Corot - examines the principal artistic phases of Corot, who considered drawing the very essence of art. Drawings, sketchbooks and autograph letters enable the reader to follow Corot in his numerous journeys to Italy and within France, and reveal the development and richness of his style, from the precise, vigorous lines of his early studies to those of his mature style, executed in pencil and pen, and on to the velvety, deep blacks of his late charcoal works. Landscapes drawn in situ or recomposed from memory, monuments, portraits and nudes are presented in the exhibition which, through a selection of his clich,s verre , also highlights Corot's fundamental importance in the field of 19th-century print-makin</p>
