Best Thing On Paper

"Old Master Drawings From the Suida-Manning Collection"

This exhibition at UT's Blanton Museum of Art is a precious collection of drawings preserved for hundreds of years on paper so delicate it makes you want to weep. With works by Raphael, Farinati, Cambiaso, Guercino, and Boucher, the fine detail of these drawings invite the eye to gaze closely - and for a long time. Our only complaint about this exhibition - part of the $35 million Suida-Manning collection - is its short run. Get in to see it before it closes next month on October 24.
