Drawn Together: Five Centuries of Drawing from the Bowdoin College Museum of Art includes highlights from the Museum’s rich collection of drawings, the first such public collection in the United States. The exhibition examines the important role of drawing as a creative practice, from envisioning new works such as paintings, etchings, murals, and tapestries, to exploring new tools and techniques, to reflecting on the practice itself. Included in the exhibition are some of the first Old Master drawings collected in America, including works from the school of Raphael, by Abraham Jansz. van Diepenbeeck, and by Dirk Vellert, together with drawings of 19th century American masters such as Winslow Homer and Elihu Vedder, and works by contemporary artists including Nancy Grossman, Titus Kaphar, Alex Katz, and The Fine Arts Building Edda Renouf. 22 East 80th Street New York, NY 10075 Elihu Vedder (American, 1836–1923) “Natura”: Detail of Head (head of Natura), ca. 1893, pastel, crayon, and graphite on Exhibition sponsored in part by brown wove paper Gift of The American Academy of Arts and Peter Bownes-Johnson, Partner, Letters, Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Private Clients, Vizion Insurance Brokers Brunswick, Maine Master Drawings New York 2020 introduction special loan exhibition Drawn Together Five Centuries of Drawings from the Bowdoin College Museum of Art the act of drawing, the simplicity of republic for the fostering of enlightened the medium and the tools involved—perhaps ideals.
