In the late 19th century a large number of European painters turned to the production of prints as they sought their own, novel creative forms of expression. This development meant that the print arts in France became all the more active, rising to new and splendid heights.
This exhibition presents a selection of works from the NMWA collection of turn of the century prints, many by famous French painters, focusing on etchings and lithographs (including zincographs), plus works that have rarely been displayed. The Permanent Collection Galleries also feature paintings by some of these artists. This exhibition will allow visitors to become familiar with a surprising and unexpected aspect of these painters, and compare their expressive styles used in different media.
