Summary

This history of French drawing is not the same thing as a history of French painting, although they often overlap and merge. Drawing is the foundation where creativity first finds its expression.

French Drawings and Watercolours by Jon Whiteley

The history of French painting is not the same thing as a history of French drawing, although the two do of course frequently combine. The very greatest French draughtsmen, such as Watteau, Fragonard, Ingres or Degas (all represented in this book) were also amongst the greatest painters. Fifty-two works are illustrated, from a collection of over 2000, from early 17th century chalk drawings by Callot, Stella and Claude Lorraine, through to late 19 century drawings and watercolours by the likes of Manet, Berthe Morisot and Tissot.
