Emanuel von Baeyer Gallery presents “Prints and Drawings from the 16th to the 20th Century”.
Launching alongside the March and June issues of Print Quarterly, this exhibition presents a wide selection of prints and drawings from the 16th to the 20th century. This selection bridges the gaps between the symbolist tradition represented by Carel de Nerée tot Babberich and Cas Campbell’s glazed stoneware from Under the Coral Sea; between the works by and after Parmagianino specially displayed for the Print Quarterly Launch, and the Secessionist masterpiece by Fritz Behn displayed upstairs.
From woodcut masterpieces from the peak of Durer’s maturity at the earliest, to Margaret Bruton’s rare and intimate portrait of her friend Frida Kahlo (an excellent pendant to the current Tate exhibition) at the latest, this exhibition displays the gamut of Western graphic arts from 16th to the 20th Century. Highlights of the exhibition include a fine selection of drawings from the British schools (including Thomas Kerrich, Edward Coley Burne-Jones Richard Dadd, and Walter Sickert) and various noteworthy expressionist works by Ludwig Meidner, Walter Gramatté, Cuno Amiet, and George Grosz.
