The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly presents “Fragonard: Drawing Triumphant—Works from New York Collections”. The exhibition will be showcased till 8 January, 2017.This exhibition celebrates the artist's achievements as a master draftsman. Among the 100 works on paper on view, nearly half are from private collections, some of which are being shown publicly for the first time. Jean Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806)—one of the most forward-looking and inventive artists of the 18th century—was equally skilled in painting, drawing, and etching. Unlike many old masters for whom drawing was a preparatory tool, Fragonard explored the potential of chalk, ink, and wash to create sheets that were works of art in their own right.The exhibition is showcased at The Met Fifth Avenue, 1000 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10028.
