Bath exhibition showcases Impressionist printmaking
The Holburne Museum presents over 50 prints by Manet, Van Gogh, Gauguin and peers demonstrating mastery in a revival medium. The exhibition examines how painters revived printmaking as a serious artistic discipline.
The exhibition draws focus to the often-overlooked printmaking achievements of artists primarily recognized for their paintings. Works by Impressionists, Post-Impressionists and Cubists demonstrate the aesthetic subtlety achieved through print media, often dismissed as secondary to painting. More than 50 works on display reveal these masters' technical sophistication and innovative approaches to the medium. The show repositions printmaking as central to understanding the artistic innovations of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
