Back to Exhibitions A Family Affair: Artistic Dynasties in Europe (Part II, 1670–1900)

Holly Borham, Curator of Prints, Drawings and European Art; Sarah Bane, Assistant Curator, Prints & Drawings.
Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, TX, United States. 06/28/2025 - 12/07/2025.
Exhibiting artist(s): Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Mauro Gandolfi, Robert Nanteuil, Francis Seymour Haden, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Pierre-Alexandre Aveline, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Charles-Nicolas Cochin, James Abbott McNeill Whistler.
How far does the apple fall from the tree?

Traditionally, professions were passed down in families in much the same way as certain traits, abilities, and resources. This exhibition tells the stories of eighteen artistic families active in France, Italy, England, Scotland, and India from the late-seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. In some cases, there is a striking visual resemblance between the artworks produced by members of the same family, while in others, the styles of individual artists within a family are highly distinctive. Family relationships also overlap with the roles of teacher and pupil, business partner, and rival.

From highly refined French engravings intended to glorify King Louis XIV and archaeological views of Rome designed for tourists and architects to evocative landscapes of Britain and India, the works in this exhibition chart two and a half centuries of social and artistic change in Europe and beyond. The invention of new printmaking techniques that mimicked the tonal effects of drawings broadened the appeal of prints during this period, and they were enthusiastically collected by a growing middle class. More women entered the profession, too, and more artists traveled internationally in search of inspiration and new markets.

Amidst these significant cultural shifts, the family nonetheless remained a persistent locus of artistic production due to inherited aptitudes as well as close personal and economic connections. Drawing from the Blanton’s collection of European art, A Family Affair presents prints, drawings, and paintings created by some of the continent’s most fascinating artistic families, revealing patterns of inspiration, competition, and evolving family fortunes.

Curated by Holly Borham, Curator of Prints, Drawings and European Art, and Sarah Bane, Assistant Curator, Prints & Drawings, Blanton Museum of Art.

Highlights from the Sandzén-Greenough Family Print Collection

Cori Sherman North.
Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery, Lindsborg, KS, United States. 01/26/2025 - 04/20/2025.
Exhibiting artist(s): Anders Zorn, Rembrandt, Albrecht Dürer, John Taylor Arms, Grant Wood, Auguste Lepère, Georg Pencz, Doel Reed, Norma Bassett Hall, B.J.O. Nordfeldt, Bertha Jaques, Natori Shunsen, Gene Kloss, Charles Meryon, Edmund Blampied, Herschel Logan, and others.
Highlights from the Sandzén-Greenough Family Collection features (55) examples of etchings,
engravings, mezzotints, lithographs, and color woodcuts in the Sandzén Gallery’s permanent collection of about
8,000 works on paper. Selections on display cover an astonishing international range: Japanese color woodcuts,
French revival landscape etchings, early German “Little Masters” and Albrecht Dürer woodcuts, Dutch old
masters such as Rembrandt etchings, exquisite European portrait engravings, Swedish etchings of Anders Zorn,
B.J.O. Nordfeldt white-line woodcuts, American Regional lithographs by Grant Wood and Thomas Hart
Benton, and more. Birger Sandzén was actively involved in most of the print societies around the country,
including the Chicago Society of Etchers (1910), the Print Makers of California (1914), and the Brooklyn
Society of Etchers (1915) which went through several name changes to become what is now SAGA (Society of
American Graphic Artists), before organizing the Prairie Print Makers at his home studio in December of 1930. He was
invited to be a charter member of Kansas City’s Woodcut Society in 1932, and collected all that Society’s
presentation prints issued twice-yearly through 1947. Sandzén also joined the Society of Print Connoisseurs in
1945, as a collecting member to add commissioned prints such as Gene Kloss’ 1948 drypoint, Processional-
Taos (in this exhibition), to his personal collection.
Once Sandzén was firmly settled in central Kansas and teaching at Bethany College from 1894, he
began his own collection of original prints. When his daughter Margaret married Charles Pelham Greenough 3rd
in 1942, Sandzén found a kindred spirit as his son-in-law's print collection was as varied and deep as his own.
The family collection was eventually inherited by the Greenoughs, who opened the Birger Sandzén Memorial
Gallery in 1957 to host contemporary guest artists and to share their paintings, prints, and sculpture with a wider
audience.

The Future is Today: Prints and the University of Warwick 1965 to now

Sarah Shalgosky, Liz Dooley, Thomas Ellmer.
Mead Gallery, University of Warwick, Coventry, --, United Kingdom. 01/16/2025 - 03/09/2025.
Exhibiting artist(s): Richard Hamilton, Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Le Corbusier, Josef Albers, Polly Apfelbaum, Sonia Boyce, Christian Noelle Charles, Lubaina Himid, Ed Ruscha, Robert Rauschenberg, Khadija Saye, Sin Wai Kin, Paula Rego, Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Leonie Bradley, Ciara Phillips, Peter Blake, Julian Opie, Yinka Shonibare, Emma Stibbon, Paule Vezelay, Quinlan and Hastings, Ruth Ewan.
in 1965, the students at the new University of Warwick began to imagine the future. Sixty years later, this exhibition explores what has changed in society since that time through the lens of the University Art Collection and its prints.
The exhibition features the works of over 60 artists and includes work by an early generation of printmakers including Josef Albers and Le Corbusier; works by a new generation in the 1960s who used screen printing to make images drawn from mass media to challenge social norms. These include Peter Blake, David Hockney, Richard Hamilton and Andy Warhol. From these beginnings, later prints in the University Art Collection present a wide range of ideas and attitudes by artists including Polly Apfelbaum, Sonia Boyce, Christian Noelle Charles, Lubaina Himid, Yinka Ilori, Lakwena, Khadija Saye, George Shaw and Emma Stibbon. The exhibition includes loans of major works by Ruth Ewan, Ellen Gallagher, David Hockney, Ciara Phillips, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Shanzhai Lyric and Sin Wai Kin.
The exhibition is home to a free, working print studio where visitors can work with our studio technician to make their own monoprints inspired by the exhibition.
