Storied Past: February 5–April 17, 2011 Featuring more than 70 drawings produced over a 400-year period, this exhibition includes works by Jacques Callot, Antoine Watteau, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, François Boucher and Jean-François Fragonard, among others, with the 19th century represented by choice sheets from François-Marius Granet, Théodore Rousseau, Jean Forain, Théodore-Alexandre Steinlen and others who reflect shifts in the approach to drawing in the modern era. The full scope of drawing and its uses is represented, from preliminary sketches, compositional studies and figure studies to finished drawings. Especially rich in 17th-and 18th-century drawings, the exhibition illustrates the rise to dominance of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture as one of the most dominant cultural and political institutions in Europe. Organized from the Blanton Museum of Art’s impressive collection, the drawings have received fresh scholarly attention and will be examined in detail in the accompanying catalogue. Organized by The Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin. |
Fabergé: The Hodges Family Collection October 22–January 15 , 2011 This exhibition features a splendid group of over 100 objects made by famed Russian artist-jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé (1846–1920). From cigarette cases and smoking accessories, to photograph frames, tableware, desk accessories, boxes, clocks, and jewelry, the consummate skill of the House of Fabergé is evident in the ingenious use of precious and semi-precious materials to create luxury objects of the highest order. The objects are from the Hodges Family Collection, the first significant collection of Fabergé assembled in America in decades. |
