Studies for Lunettes
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating collection of drawings by American artist Charles Sprague Pearce, created between 1890 and 1897. This intriguing series of works is currently housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and offers a glimpse into Pearce's artistic process as he explored the concept of lunettes, or semi-circular frames, for potential designs. The drawings, executed primarily in Conté crayon, gouache, and graphite on tan wove paper, showcase Pearce's mastery of various mediums. The use of Conté crayon adds depth and texture to the sketches, while gouache provides bold, opaque color, and graphite delivers intricate detail. The figures, primarily women, are depicted in various poses and stages of completion, revealing the artist's thought process and exploration of form and composition. Pearce's studies for lunettes demonstrate his strong connection to both the American and French artistic traditions. The influence of French art is evident in the elegant, flowing lines and graceful figures, while the American influence is reflected in the bold use of color and the focus on everyday subjects. These captivating drawings offer a unique perspective into the artistic process of the late 19th century, providing a valuable insight into the mind of an artist as he sought to create innovative and beautiful designs. The National Gallery of Art is proud to exhibit this collection, which serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Charles Sprague Pearce and the rich cultural heritage of both the United States and France.
