"No Day Without a Line": Drawing in 19th-Century German Art
Françoise Forster-Hahn, professor of art history, University of California, Riverside, explores the role of drawing within the broader context of German art and history from the Romantic period to the turn of the 20th century. Adolph Menzel's dictum "No day without a line" serves as a motto not only for his own prolific output as a draughtsman, but also for the art of drawing in its central role for the practice and theory of art in the German speaking countries of the 19th century. Free; reservations required.
