Julie Manet, the niece of Edouard Manet and the daughter of the most famous female Impressionist artist, Berthe Morisot, was born in Paris on 14 November 1878 into a wealthy and cultured milieu at the height of the Impressionist era. Many young girls still confide their inner thoughts to diaries and it is hardly surprising that, with her mother giving all her encouragement, Julie would prove to be no exception to the rule. At the age of ten, Julie began writing her `memoirs' but it wasn't until August 1893, at fourteen, that Julie began her diary in earnest: no neat leather-bound volume with lock and key but just untidy notes scribbled in old exercise books, often in pencil, the presentation as spontaneous as its contents. Her extraordinary diary - newly translated here by an expert on Impressionism - reveals a vivid depiction of a vital period in France's cultural history seen through the youthful and precocious eyes of the youngest member of what was surely the most prominent artistic family of the time.

"Chester Dale (1883-1962) is best known for the magnificent paintings he bequeathed to the National Gallery of Art, which he acquired with the expert guidance of his first wife, Maud (1876-1953). They assembled one of the finest collections in America of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century paintings. Featuring great masterpieces of French impressionism and post-impressionism by such artists as Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, and Van Gogh, the Dale collection also includes earlier paintings that influenced these works as well as those that followed. Particular favorites of the Dales were Picasso and Modigliani, but they collected expansively--from El Greco and Boucher to George Bellows and Salvador Dalì. This lavishly illustrated volume celebrates the Chester Dale Collection at the National Gallery. Two essays and a detailed chronology document the building of the collection and the lives of the collectors, and a dramatic foldout provides a graphic presentation of the Dales' acquisition activity."--

Le Cabinet des dessins du Musée est aujourd'hui connu et reconnu, après un siècle et demi d'existence, pour la richesse de son fonds genevois : les quelque dix-neuf mille dessins d'artistes genevois de naissance ou d'adoption, peu à peu réunis au gré des donations et des trouvailles, constituent désormais l'essentiel de la collection. Cette spécificité, l'importance et la qualité de cet ensemble ont légitimement conduit depuis les années trente à mener une politique de mise en valeur de cet héritage culturel. Publications et expositions se sont succédé pour mettre en lumière et porter à la connaissance du public l'œuvre de ceux qui ont contribué à l'élaboration de l'identité artistique genevoise. [...] Mais comment ignorer plus longtemps la présence de dessins étrangers, reflets de la curiosité des collectionneurs et des artistes eux-mêmes ? Cet ensemble, certes modeste, n'en représente pas moins 12 % de la collection et, avec plus de deux mille cinq cents feuilles, il est sans doute l'un des plus importants de Suisse. [...] Force est cependant de reconnaître que les achats sont restés rares et ponctuels dans ce domaine. A l'instar des grands musées européens, l'objectif poursuivi aujourd'hui est d'explorer ces dessins étrangers restés trop longtemps dans l'ombre. Commencer par l'école française s'est d'emblée imposé, car c'est de loin la mieux représentée, avec plus de la moitié du fonds. De surcroît, les dessins les plus remarquables de cet ensemble permettent de donner une image cohérente de l'art français du XVIIe au XXe siècle. [...] Premier volet de cette réhabilitation des fonds étrangers, ce catalogue et l'exposition qui l'accompagne ouvrent la voie aux autres explorations que nous souhaitons voir menées à l'avenir sur les écoles italienne, nordique et anglaise. Ce travail, pour le dessin français, nous le devons à Dominique Radrizzani que la passion pour les arts graphiques a conduit dans les cartons de notre Cabinet des dessins il y a plusieurs années. Animé par la curiosité du connoisseurship, il a sorti des feuilles de l'anonymat, détecté des noms sous d'anciennes attributions erronées, confirmé d'autres attributions latentes, reconstitué la genèse de dessins désormais identifiés comme les esquisses ou les cartons préparatoires d'œuvres ou de décors célèbres... En rétablissant ces errances de l'Histoire, il nous fait découvrir un fonds quasiment inédit, jusqu'alors ignoré de l'amateur et du spécialiste. Si la collection n'est évidemment pas encyclopédique, et si certains grands artistes manquent inévitablement à l'appel, la sélection réalisée permet de révéler des pages des plus grands noms de l'art français, de Champaigne à Watteau, de Boucher à Van Loo, d'Ingres à Delacroix, de Toulouse-Lautrec à Degas...[...] Cäsar Menz, directeur des Musées d'art et d'histoire.
