The Knowledge to Create
The Cabinet d'arts graphiques of the Museum of Art and History is exhibiting some 130 paintings, oil studies, watercolours, drawings and lithographs by painter and teacher Barthélemy Menn (1815-1893).
This selection, drawn from some 3000 examples of his work in the holdings of the MAH, is complemented by important pieces by the artist from private and public collections, including those of the Aargauer Kunsthaus and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
