French Drawings: Acquisitions, 1970–1984

This small exhibition catalogue features reproductions of and brief yet detailed essays by several scholars, including Richard S. Field, Christine Poggi, Alan Shestack, and Ann Temkin, on several French drawings in the collection of the Yale University Art Gallery. Drawings range from a delicate watercolor of flowers by Paul Cézanne (ca. 1890) to Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s mischievous Satyr Teased by Two Putti (ca. 1774–80), and from a moody charcoal Landscape by Georges Michel (ca. 1830) to recently acquired drawings by Eugène Boudin, Georges Braque, Théodore Géricault, Camille Pissarro, Edouard Vuillard, and others.
