France's Age of Revolution (1789–1870) saw wars, violent uprisings, radical political changes and ideologies, and a general upheaval of political identity or societal coherence. French art created during this time reflects such shifts and instability, with the emergence of new styles and experimentation in Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Expressionism. In the New Orleans Museum of Art's new exhibit, Paper Revolutions: French Drawings from the New Orleans Museum of Art, this era is explored through the works on paper by celebrated painters Jacques-Louis David, Jean-Auguste-Domingue Intres, and Eugène Delacroix, as well as many lesser-known artists—all pulled from the museum's permanent collection.
Paper Revolutions will be on display through July 14. Learn more at noma.org.
