RAVISHING BEAUTY: The Art of Tissot and Helleu

Jean-Jaques Tissot (1836-1902) and Paul César Helleu (1959-1927) devoted much of their lives to the pursuit of beauty, though each approached it with his own indvidual obsessions. Tissot was fascinated by clothing, the texture, shape and fall of fabrics and the details of settings.  Helleu employed the simplest of lines to capture human sentiments: fleeting expressions from playfulness to challenge, from concentration to sleep.  This exhibition explores the intimate preoccupations of these two artists through 100 superb drawings and prints selected from private collections in Europe.
