Recueil expliqué par deux experts :


- Vanessa Selbach, chef du service de l’estampe ancienne et de la réserve, BnF

- Pascale Cugy, ATER à l’Université Rennes 2


Le département des Estampes et de la photographie possède de nombreux recueils de gravures de mode de la fin du XVIIe siècle ayant appartenu à de grands collectionneurs du temps de Louis XIV, le marquis de Beringhen (1651-1723) ou l’érudit Roger de Gaignières (1642-1716). Ces albums reflètent l’engouement qui traversa toutes les couches de la société pour ces estampes diffusant la mode parisienne et de flatteuses images de la cour du Roi Soleil. L’appropriation de ces gravures passe souvent par la mise en couleur des planches, voire leur embellissement par l’ajout de pièces de tissus, les transformant en véritables « estampes habillées ».

Gravure sur bois et modernité : le catalogue de la 14e exposition de la Sécession viennoise (1902) Don de la Société des amis de la bibliothèque d’art et d’archéologie

La quatorzième exposition de la Sécession viennoise, fondée en 1897, est certainement l’une des plus marquantes du groupe. Présentée d’avril à juin 1902 dans le célèbre bâtiment construit par Joseph-Maria Olbrich, elle avait été conçue autour d’un double hommage à Beethoven, célébré à la fois par le monument de Max Klinger et par la fresque de Gustav Klimt. Le catalogue édité à cette occasion constitue un petit chef-d’œuvre de l’âge d’or du graphisme viennois. Soumises aux lois de la bidimensionnalité, inscrites dans une rigoureuse mise en page d’une stricte orthogonalité, ses illustrations véhiculent non seulement, au même titre que le lettrage, une esthétique spécifique, mais, constituent aussi un précieux témoignage de l’intérêt des cercles avant-gardistes au tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles pour la technique de la gravure sur bois, à laquelle Jacques Doucet s’était montré particulièrement sensible.

Although we live in the digital age, print continues to have urgency and ubiquity in contemporary art and society. In honor of The Print Center’s 100th anniversary, Sarah Suzuki, from the Museum of Modern Art, will lead a discussion exploring the inventive uses of print with artists Rirkrit Tiravanija and Elizabeth Peyton, and David Lasry, founder and director of Two Palms Press.

Offered in conjunction with Print Love: Celebrating The Print Center at 100. This lecture is supported by the Center for American Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Keenly aware of the power of time to illuminate and destroy, Goya sought unprecedented ways to capture for posterity the human condition, both as he observed it and as his creative imagination transformed it. His innovative mastery of varied techniques and media gave him exceptional freedom to express the complexities and contradictions of the world around him. This talk will examine a selection of paintings, prints, and drawings to reveal some of the ways Goya described a world that is both new and familiar.

Stephanie Loeb Stepanek is curator emerita at the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), Boston, with which she has been associated since her graduation from Wheaton College, Norton, MA.

Stepanek worked closely with the noted Goya scholar and former MFA curator of prints and drawings Eleanor Sayre on the exhibitions The Changing Image: Prints by Francisco Goya, 1974, and Goya and the Spirit of Enlightenment, 1989, coauthoring the catalogue. Stepanek has worked on numerous other exhibitions at the MFA, including Albrecht Dürer, Master Printmaker (1971), Winslow Homer (1977), The Pleasures of Paris (1991), and French Prints from the Age of the Musketeers (1998).
