SUMMARY:Line\, Smudge\, Shade; Contemporary Drawing in Our Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Line\, Smudge\, Shade showcases works on paper by sixteen Los Angeles–based contemporary artists who consider drawing an integral part of their studio practice and explores the emotional\, formal\, and environmental dimensions of mark-making on paper and beyond. \nThree common drawing techniques are the framework for this exhibition: line\, which reflects the deliberate act of mark-making and the conceptual choices behind using drawing as a foundational mode of expression; smudge\, which represents the ways in which the Los Angeles region shapes these artists and their work; and shade\, which references the personal and intuitive aspects of each artist’s process. \nFeaturing experimental and traditional drawings\, artists’ sketchbooks\, and other works on paper that span form\, movement\, and intention\, Line\, Smudge\, Shade highlights a range of approaches to drawing that move fluidly among representation\, abstraction\, memory\, and observation. At a time when artists have access to an unprecedented variety of media\, Line\, Smudge\, Shade returns to the immediacy of drawing as a means of reflection and relation\, both personal and public. Despite their varied presentations\, all the works included in the exhibition reflect a shared commitment to drawing as an exploratory\, embodied\, and place-based act. \nOrganized by Solomon Salim Moore\, academic curator\, and HeeSoo Alice Lee\, curatorial assistant. \n \nImage: Carlya Franca\, Home\, 2025. Reclaimed charcoal from the Eaton Fire on paper. 18 x 24 inches. Lent by the artist.

SUMMARY:500 Years of Italian Drawings from Princeton University Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:The Princeton University Art Museum’s collection of Italian drawings is renowned for its quality\, scope\, and scholarly importance. This exhibition showcases ninety-five works from the late fifteenth to early twentieth centuries by numerous artists including Parmigianino\, Guercino\, Gian Lorenzo Bernini\, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo\, and Amedeo Modigliani. 500 Years of Italian Drawings explores topics such as technique\, artistic education\, experimentation\, and the pivotal role played by drawing in the creative process. As the backbone of training and imagination since the Renaissance\, drawing allowed artists to conceptualize and realize a design on paper\, constituting the first mark-making step toward a project’s final realization as a painting\, sculpture\, or building. Representations of the human figure dominate the exhibition\, signifying the centrality of this subject in Italian art. These arresting works—drawn from life and the imagination—convey the universal appeal of drawing as one of the most intimate and revelatory manifestations of artistic practice. \nCurated by Laura M.

SUMMARY:Infinity on Paper Drawings from the Collections of the Benton Museum of Art and Jack Shear
DESCRIPTION:With a minimum of means—often just a pencil and paper—artists have created drawings that open infinite worlds to us. They have used the practice of drawing to express their aspirations and anxieties\, ask questions\, raise concerns\, and translate their inner experiences into physical form\, whether in 20th-century New York\, 18th-century India\, or 16th-century Rome. The drawings in Infinity on Paper are prisms through which audiences can reflect upon the numberless outcomes of the creative process and even the nature of representation itself. \nThis exhibition emerged from the Benton’s AllPaper Seminar\, a professional development program designed to introduce graduate students and young professionals from all backgrounds to the field of works on paper. In the seminar\, these emerging scholars engaged with the history of drawing and its practitioners\, methods\, and materials. The AllPaper Fellows were generously allowed access to the exceptional drawing collection of Jack Shear\, artist\, collector\, and executive director of the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation. \nThat rigorous engagement with drawings in the Shear collection as well as the Benton’s own holdings formed the basis of Infinity on Paper\, comprising 70 drawings by more than 50 artists that offer a dynamic exploration of drawing in its various media\, methods\, and techniques. With its vast scope\, the exhibition brings together works on paper by artists from the past and present such as Lee Bontecou\, Vija Celmins\, Mary Evelyn De Morgan\, Gustave Doré\, Torkwase Dyson\, Maerten van Heemskerck \, Jasper Johns\, Alice Neel\, Edvard Munch\, Rita Ponce de León\, Kurt Schwitters\, Tiepolo\, and Francesco Zuccarelli. Their works—at times intimate\, at times bombastic—invite visitors to reflect on drawing as a major form of expression and revel in its infinite possibilities. \n \nBanner Image: Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904)\, Self portrait\, 1861\, Black chalk with stumping.
