Over the course of the 18th century a great number of artists,
ranging from established painters and sculptors to amateurs,
experimented with etching, an accessible form of printmaking akin
to drawing. In a period when artists strained to navigate the
highly regulated Academie Royale and the increasingly discordant
public spheres of the marketplace and the Salon, etching afforded
them stylistic freedom and allowed them to produce exquisite works
of art in a spirit of collaboration and experimentation. Featuring
works by Watteau, Boucher, Fragonard, Hubert Robert, and many
others, Artists and Amateurs embarks on a fresh exploration of how
etching flourished in ancien regime France, shedding new light on
artistic practice and patronage at that time. Treating such topics
as technique and practice, experimentation, and the crucial role of
the amateur, it establishes the unique place of etching in the
shifting social terrain of 18th-century Paris, and explores an
artistic context in which conventional hierarchies of genre and
medium were breached to brilliant effect.
