BEHIND THE SCENES: This week we are building a room within our Main Gallery for our upcoming exhibit "#Portraits from the École des Beaux-Arts Paris". This exhibition explores 400 years of portrait drawings, emphasizing work from live models. Each week, a different set of four portraits will be hung "in dialogue" with each other in this room. The remaining 36 will be hung on the gallery's back wall and will be visible to the visitor throughout the exhibition's run. The selection of works ranges from never-before-exhibited drawings by 19th-century luminaries Jean-Auguste-Dominique #Ingres and Charles #Garnier to the work of modern and contemporary masters Henri #Matisse and Georg #Baselitz to portraits by recent graduates of the Beaux-Arts de Paris. #portraits #BeauxArtsParis
