Édouard Vuillard: Sketches and Studies

Join Isabelle Dervaux, Acquavella Curator and Head of Department, Modern & Contemporary Drawings, for a virtual tour of Édouard Vuillard: Sketches and Studies. Although better known for his paintings, Vuillard drew extensively throughout his life, largely in the pages of sketchbooks, which he kept in the privacy of his studio. Most of these sketches were made from direct observation and served as the basis for paintings. After his death, Vuillard’s sketchbooks were often taken apart. The installation, on view on view through May 30th, features sixteen recently acquired drawings. Ranging from quick sketches to more elaborate studies, they offer a tantalizing overview of Vuillard’s drawing practice throughout his career.
