"Drawn Toward the Avant-Garde was the last in a series of three drawings exhibitions hosted by the Frick Art and Historical Center in Pittsburgh...the individual works are beautiful and worthy of careful scrutiny. There are masterpieces by familiar artists, such as Manet, Degas, Cézanne, Morisot, Gauguin, Pissarro, Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, and Picasso (figs. 1–3) , as well as some intriguing surprises among the holdings in Copenhagen...The drawings by sculptors are a particularly surprising and a welcome addition to the grouping. Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's oil sketch The Blast Furnaces at St. -Vast-là-haut near Valenciennes is a stunning and provocative study of place and a stark contrast to the more harmonious and, in some ways, naïve approach to landscape adopted by Barbizon artists...."
