Chappaqua Library Online Art Lecture: Ferdinand Hodler - Drawings

Ferdinand Hodler: Drawings     June 16 – Oct. 1, 2023 at the Morgan Library and Museum.

The Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler (1853–1918) created works that range from vast symbolist
compositions to intimate portraits and nearly abstract landscape paintings. This exhibition of
approximately 60 works, primarily on paper, will focus on the role of drawing in his practice, from
quick compositional sketches to elaborate oil studies. Most of the drawings Hodler produced were
preparatory studies for large-scale compositions. These offer a fascinating record of his working
process involving technical experiments with imprints, tracing, and collages.
