On Saturday, January 21, Master Drawings New York presented a virtual conversation between the Clark's Hardymon Director Olivier Meslay and Curator and Assistant Director of the Department of Prints and Photography at the Bibliothèque nationale de France Corinne Le Bitouzé. Their conversation covered the many facets of the Clark's exhibition Promenades on Paper: Eighteenth-Century French Drawings from the Bibliothèque nationale de France and was moderated by our very own Anne Leonard, Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs. A technical glitch made it hard for some people to log in to hear the talk live, but a recording is now available.
