Description
Noir: The Romance of Black in 19th-Century French Drawings and Prints by Lee Hendrix explores the innovative use of black drawing media during the 19th century. This volume brings together diverse artists, including Francisco de Goya, Maxime Lalanne, Gustave Courbet, Odilon Redon, and Georges Seurat, to examine their inventive works on paper. The study sidesteps traditional labels, instead employing a range of tools from art history and modern conservation to provide a broader understanding of the artists' methods and materials. This integrated approach allows for a nuanced exploration of the role of black media in drawing and its connection to prints. Noir accompanies an exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum, which ran from February 9 to May 15, 2016.
