A.I.C. : Braude Memorial Collection 06-06

Dorothy Edinburg collected drawings (18th - 20th C.) -- and this exhibit celebrated their donation to the museum -- as well as a certain approach to collecting that was spelled out in a monumental text that covers the first wall of this exhibition.

Rather than just picking what she liked to see, she chose drawings that would:

* effectively present the essence of an artist's achievement
* relate to objects in other media but also function as significant independent statements
* play a seminal role within an artist's oeuvre
* satisfy high standards of authenticity and condition.

Below is my selection of favorites:


Francois Lemoyne (1688-1737)

Alessandro Magnasco (1667 - 1749)
