Exhibition History

French Drawings in the Time of Degas
Aug 19, 2005 – Jan 22, 2006

Label copy

Toulouse-Lautrec was greatly inspired by the work of Degas; however, while Degas admired Lautrec’s drawing abilities, he felt that Lautrec’s work was too dependent upon his own. Today, one appreciates Lautrec’s unique perspective on contemporary Parisian entertainment and how distinctly different his spontaneous approach to drawing was from Degas’s studied process.
