SUMMARY:Henri Michaux: Mescaline Drawings
DESCRIPTION:This display celebrates the unique Mescaline Drawings by the Franco-Belgian poet and visual artist\, Henri Michaux (1899 -1984).   \nIn January 1955\, as part of an experiment prompted by his publisher\, Michaux tried the psychedelic drug mescaline\, a product derived from the Mexican peyote cactus. The aim of the experiment was to investigate the effect of this type of non-addictive drug on the creative act. Michaux considered these experiences to be a portal into the inner workings of the mind.   \nThe investigation transformed Michaux’s artistic life and provoked an outpouring of writings and distinctive drawings during the 1950s and 1960s\, the latter being at the centre of this exhibition. Created after the effects of mescaline (and at times other drugs such as hashish\, LSD\, and psilocybin) had passed\, the drawings are the astonishing transcriptions of the artist’s sensation\, rendered as if by a sort of shuddering seismograph.  \nThis display\, which presents works rarely seen in the UK\, will showcase Michaux’s extraordinary experience\, one that pushed the limits of what the essence of drawing is. \n \nImage: Henri Michaux (1899-1984)\, Untitled (Mescaline drawing)(detail)\, 1957\, pen and black ink on paper.

SUMMARY:Drawn to Blue: Artists' use of blue paper
DESCRIPTION:This display will present a selection of drawings on blue paper from The Courtauld’s collection\, ranging from works by the Venetian Renaissance artist Jacopo Tintoretto to a watercolor by famed English Artist Joseph Mallord William Turner. \nMade from fibers derived from blue rags\, blue paper first appeared in Northern Italy in the 14th century. It became a popular drawing support for artists\, and its use spread across Western Europe by the late 16th century; it was widely used in England and France in the 18th century. Blue paper provided a nuanced mid-tone which allowed the creation of strong light and dark contrasts\, an effect much sought after by draughtsmen. \nThis exhibition project brought together a team of curators and paper conservators at The Courtauld and the J. Paul Getty Museum to explore the technical aspects and artistic richness of the use of blue paper.   \nThe programme of displays in the Gilbert and Ildiko Butler Drawings Gallery is generously supported by the International Music and Art Foundation\, with additional support from James Bartos.  \n \nImage: Jonathan Richardson\, the elder (1665 – 1745)\, Self-portrait\, The Courtauld\, London (Samuel Courtauld Trust)
