Mantegna to Matisse at the Frick Museum

The Frick museum has an incredible exhibition of drawings on view, until Jan 27th, titled Mantegna to Matisse: Master Drawings from the Courtauld Gallery.  More information is available on their website, from which I cite: "This exhibition marks the first time that so many of the principal drawings in The Courtauld's renowned collection — one of Britain's most important — have been made available for loan."  I was very pleased to look at superb drawings by Michelangelo, Pontormo, Ribera and many more.  There are some modern drawings on view as well, from Degas, and Picasso among others.  An all encompassing and truly amazing show. Go see it!
