De Delacroix à Gauguin

Valérie Lagier, Marie Alsberghe, Agnès Lepicard, Johan Popelard

"Very little shown, almost unpublished, one hundred and fifteen of the most beautiful leaves of the collection of drawings of the nineteenth century museum of Grenoble compose this chrono-thematic journey, from romanticism to the beginnings of symbolism, illustrating the look at the past and national history, trips to the Orient or Italy, interest in the picturesque and the heritage, the official and monumental art, the question of the artists confronted with the war, the illustration and the caricature, the realism or the sensitivity to the landscape. An invitation to rediscover the diversity of graphic approaches of artists in a century turned upside down by revolutions and intellectual and scientific progress"--Decitre.
