Marks of Genius: 100 Extraordinary Drawings from the Minneapolis Institute of Art features some of the most important drawings from the superlative collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
The selection of drawings, watercolors, gouaches, and pastels dating from the Middle Ages to the present includes stellar examples by such masters as Guercino, Annibale Carracci, George Romney, François Boucher, Thomas Gainsborough, Edgar Degas, Käthe Kollwitz, Egon Schiele, Emil Nolde, Amedeo Modigliani, Henri Matisse, Alfredo Ramos Martínez, Roy Lichtenstein, and Ed Ruscha. This eye-opening exhibition illuminates the historical and ongoing role of drawing as a means of study, observation, and problem solving, as an outpouring of the artist’s imagination, and as a method of realizing a finished work of art.
American Impressionist and Marks of Genius are ticketed together.
A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.
