Nineteenth and Twentieth Century European Drawings in the Robert Lehman Collection

Illustrated with 122 color plates and 324 duotones, this volume begins with drawings by Jacques-Louis David and Francisco Goya, reckoned here as the two most important artists in Europe at the turn of the 19th century, and it concludes with a group of watercolors made in the 1940s by the painter Marcel Vertès. Among the French drawings are outstanding sheets by Delacroix, Ingres, Chassériau, Corot, Daumier, Matisse, Vlaminck, and Villon. This book is part of a series of beautifully produced and illustrated volumes examining in depth the Robert Lehman Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
