Monotypes

About the exhibition

The Davison Art Center at Wesleyan University presented Monotypes in 1955. The documented selection includes transfer-printed works by Paul Gauguin and other artists; each surviving sheet is identified separately by its native museum record and accession. Exact surviving examples are Paul Gauguin’s The Rider (c. 1902; gouache monotype touched with gum or varnish on laid paper) and Edgar Degas’s The Green Room (c. 1876/1877; monotype (black ink) on laid paper mounted by the artist on heavy white wove paper). This is a partial checklist reconstructed from the objects’ museum histories; precise opening and closing days remain unknown.
