James Jaques Joseph Tissot, (1836-1902) Le Hamoc, 1880, Etching and drypoint on old laid paper, Georgia Museum of Art: gift of Alfred Holbrook.

Passport to Paris features the work of these great artists and more in and exhibition of forty-six examples by some of the finest printmakers ever to have lived. In addition to the great Impressionist peintres-graveurs (painter-print-makers), the exhibition also features brilliant visions by such print specialists as Honoré Daumier and Paul Gavarni, the great satirists of French society; Charles Meryon, considered the most brilliant printmaker of his age, Félix Bracquemond, who taught the finer points of etching to the Impressionists, and Félix Buhot, whose images captured Paris unforgettably.

Passport to Paris is exactly that--a trip to the French capital and center of the nineteenth-century art world with the era's most remarkable printmakers as our guides.
