Series: The Clark

Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs Anne Leonard presents the opening lecture of the exhibition Hue & Cry: French Printmaking and the Debate Over Colors. The exhibition and lecture presented on December 11, 2021 explored the opposition to color in nineteenth-century French printmaking. Vivid color—technically difficult to achieve, expensive, and frowned upon as a matter of aesthetic taste—nevertheless became the signature quality of some of the era’s best-loved prints and posters.
