Dutch Masters at the Getty
From October 4 until January 1 the Getty will feature Rembrandt, Bol, and Bloemaert in ‘Drawing: The Art of Change’
Tue, Oct 4 - Sun, Jan 1 2017
The Getty Center
From October 4 until January 1, the J. Paul Getty Museum will feature drawings by Rembrandt van Rijn, Ferdinand Bol, and Abraham Bloemaert in the ‘Drawing: The Art of Change’ exhibition. More than any other medium, drawing conveys the evolution of artistic ideas with great immediacy. Drawing sheets often bear traces; crossed-out lines, repositioned figures, cut and pasted forms, of an artist’s change of mind during the creative process. The works in this exhibition, all came from the Getty’s permanent collection and showcase the crucial role revision plays in artistic practice. Alongside international Great Masters such as da Vinci, Rubens, and Tintoretto, three Dutch painters were chosen to be part of ‘Drawing: The Art of Change’.
