Clark-Getty Paper Project Curatorial Fellow Sarah Grandin presents an overview of Promenades on Paper: Eighteenth-Century Drawings from the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Grandin shares the rich history of the national library of France’s collections, and how that shaped the selection of works included in the Clark’s exhibition. The drawings on view reveal the medium’s new status as an autonomous and democratic instrument of creation and documentation in France in the eighteenth century.
