Description: Antwerp: Mercatoronds, 2013. 27cm., hardcover, 184pp., 164 color illus. Exhibition held at Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam. English text. Summary: The exhibition will show approximately 100 prints from the permanent collection, by artists including Bonnard, Gauguin, and Toulouse-Lautrec. This exhibition marks the publication of the first major study of the museum's print collection, Printmaking in Paris. The rage for prints at the fin de siècle. In the years 1890 to 1905, Paris was swept by a craze for prints. Almost all French artists of the time experimented with lithography, etching, or woodcuts as an artistic medium. Marvellous and often colourful works of art were the result. The Van Gogh Museum holds a significant collection of more than 1,300 prints that illustrate the printmaking of this period in its full glory. The exhibition and the book will display the highlights of this print collection. Artists like Bonnard, Vuillard, Denis, Steinlen, and Toulouse-Lautrec will be represented by limited-edition prints, as well as mass-produced illustrated theatrical programmes, sheet music, books and their world-famous posters. These masterpieces on paper have rarely been exhibited in the past, on account of their fragility, and have never before been described in such detail. The book and the exhibition offer a unique opportunity to discover these hidden treasures.
