Vernissage le 3 November 2016
Bonnard, Carrière, Corot, Guerchin, Laurencin, Millet, Steinlen, Soutter, Vallotton: to ward off the winter chills, the Musée Jenisch Vevey offers an invigorating ode to line and draughtsmanship and affirms its love for the art of drawing. We present a selection of the finest images from our collections, many of which are receiving their first public showing, and invite visitors to immerse themselves in their richness and diversity. From the Italian Renaissance to the first half of the 20th century, the exhibition explores the great names of art history through the medium of drawing. It is accompanied by a film specially produced for the occasion by Lila Ribi.
