Creative Copies: Interpretive Drawings from Michelangelo to Picasso

April 9 – July 23, 1988

Creative Copies: Interpretative Drawings from Michelangelo to Picasso brings together sixty-nine drawings spanning the sixteenth through the early twentieth centuries to explore the phenomenon of one artist copying the work of another. All of the drawings in the exhibition are copies, variations, or interpretations of other works of art, ranging from the sculpture of classical antiquity to the work of immediate predecessors. The exhibition includes works by Michelangelo, Masaccio, Durer, Mantegna, Rembrandt, Leonardo, Delacroix, Rubens, Ingres, and Holbein, among others.

Organized by Egbert Haverkamp-Begemann.
