SUMMARY:Learning to Draw
DESCRIPTION:Drawing is a skill\, gained like any other through study and practice. Combining the movement of the hand with the dedication of the mind\, drawing was considered the foundation of the arts of painting\, sculpture\, and architecture since the Renaissance. Proficiency in drawing was critical for exploring\, inventing\, and communicating ideas visually\, but how was this foundational ability actually learned? This exhibition explores artistic training and the mastery of drawing in Europe from about 1550 to 1850. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is presented in English and Spanish. Esta exhibición se presenta en inglés y en español. \n \nImage: A Draftsman in the Capitoline Gallery (detail)\, about 1765\, Hubert Robert. Red chalk. Getty Museum

SUMMARY:Lines of Connection: Drawing and Printmaking
DESCRIPTION:The first exhibition ever to focus on the multiple connections between drawing and printmaking\, this presentation brings together around 90 works on paper by some of the greatest artists in the Western tradition to uncover the inner workings of their creative process and offer new ways to think about the links between the two mediums. \nFeaturing fascinating drawings and exceptional prints from the late 15th century through the mid-19th century by artists such as Albrecht Dürer\, Parmigianino\, Rembrandt\, Peter Paul Rubens\, Maria Sibylla Merian\, Francisco Goya\, and William Blake\, the exhibition explores the creative exchange between the two practices by showcasing preparatory drawings for prints\, printed imitations of drawings\, and drawn copies of prints. A selection of hybrid works also questions traditional definitions\, strict boundaries\, and outdated hierarchical distinctions between media. \nAmong the many remarkable loans enriching the exhibition are two astonishing drawings of a right hand by Hendrick Goltzius\, which will be shown alongside each other for the first time in over a generation. Additionally an impressive drawing by Rembrandt of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper makes its Chicago debut. \nWith a wealth of exceptionally beautiful works\, Lines of Connection offers fresh perspectives on two intertwined mediums and lifts the curtain on the rarely foregrounded subjects of artistic training\, workshop practices\, and the afterlife and collecting of works on paper. \nLines of Connection: Drawing and Printmaking is co-organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and the J. Paul Getty Museum.  \nArt Institute of Chicago from March 15 – June 1\, 2025 \nThe Getty from July 1 – September 14\, 2025 \n            \n\nSPONSORS\nMajor support for Lines of Connection: Drawing and Printmaking\, 1400–1850 is provided by the WOLFGANG RATJEN FOUNDATION\, Liechtenstein.\nAdditional support is contributed by an anonymous donor. \nImage:\n(Left) Hendrick Goltzius\, Mars and Venus Surprised by Vulcan\, about 1585.

SUMMARY:A Brush with Nature: Romantic Landscape Drawings
DESCRIPTION:Artists in the Romantic period found endless inspiration in the beauty and power of nature.

SUMMARY:Paper and Light
DESCRIPTION:Artists have for centuries explored the interaction of paper and light. This exhibition of drawings charts some of the innovative ways in which the two media were creatively used together. Works include the Museum’s extraordinary 12-foot-long transparency by Carmontelle—essentially an 18th-century motion picture—which will be shown lit from behind as originally intended. Drawings by more contemporary artists including Vija Celmins will join sheets by Tiepolo\, Delacroix\, Seurat\, and Manet to portray the themes of translucency and the representation of light. \n \nImage: Vija Celmins (b. 1938)\, Untitled (Coma Berenices #3) (detail)\, 1973\, graphite on acrylic ground.

SUMMARY:Drawing on Blue
DESCRIPTION:Blue paper has been a popular artist material since the fifteenth century. Crafted from blue rags formed into sheets\, this humble material that required expert knowledge to produce and had a profound impact on early modern European artistic production. As a middle tone\, the material allowed artists to easily model forms in light and dark\, while also proving to be well suited for working in colored chalks. Through new technical examination of drawings in the Getty’s collection\, this exhibition offers fresh insight into the physical properties of blue paper\, and its unique contribution to artistic practice from the 15th through 18th centuries. \nVisit the Getty Museum website for more details.
