Master Drawings Saturday January 22 – Saturday 29, 2011 Preview, Friday, January 21, 4pm-9pm For immediate release
Mireille Mosler Ltd. is pleased to announce first-time participation in Master Drawings New York, a weeklong event at 25 galleries on the Upper East Side.
The works on paper exhibited at Mireille Mosler Ltd, spanning more than five centuries, are by a diverse group of artists from different regions. The earliest drawing is a View of Prague by Roelant Savery (1576-1639), an artist born in Flanders, who traveled to Prague in 1604 to work at the court of Rudolf II. A large group of more than thirty botanical watercolors of tulips depicts the variety of this popular flower in the Golden Age in the Netherlands. A drawing on prepared panel by Willem van de Velde the Elder (1611-1693) exemplifies this rare kind of pen schilderij (pen painting), a technique at times used for marine painting in the seventeenth century. A series of drawings by the self-taught seventeenth century draughtsman Jan van Call (1656-1703) show views of Syria, Egypt and Italy.
Kees van Dongen (1877-1968) is included with a portrait of his muse and girlfriend Jasmy Jacob, done in Paris in 1921. Under her influence, Van Dongen developed the lush colors of his Fauvist style that made him such a sought-after artist. The 1970s are represented by a typical word drawing by Ed Ruscha (born 1937) executed in the unusual medium of a pigment of salad leaves. Another American artists, Jenny Holzer (born 1950), is represented with a study for her well-known marble benches on tracing paper, dated 1986.
Works are on view by the following artists: Ludolf Backhuysen, Jan de Bisschop, Abraham Bloemaert, Pieter Boel, Leonaert Bramer, George Braque, Jan van Call, Jacob Cats, Thomas Sidney Cooper, Anthony Crussens, Iris van Dongen, Kees van Dongen, Jan le Ducq, Tibor Gergely, Jacob de Gheyn, Andrew Grassie, Jenny Holzer, Leendert de Jongh, Graham Little, Reginald Marsh, Willem van Mieris, Joan Mitchell, Pieter de Molijn, Pablo Picasso, Jan Pynas, Roelant Roghman, Kim Rugg, Ed Ruscha, Herman Saftleven, Lucas Samaras, Roelant Savery, Rudolf Schlichter, Niccolaas Struyk, Hans Thoma, Jacob van der Ulft, Willem van de Velde the Elder, Cornelis Visscher, Simon de Vlieger, Johannes Walter, Jacob de Wit, Matthias Withoos, Gerrit Zegelaar, and others.
