Stanley Roseman and the Dance: Drawings from the Paris Opera

Stanley Roseman's work has received wide critical acclaim, including outstanding reviews in The New York Times and The Times, London, and his work is represented in many important museum collections throughout the world. Recognized as a master draughtsman, Roseman is the first American artist to be given a one-man exhibition at Vienna's renowned Albertina (1983), containing one of the world's greatest collections of drawings.

The Bibliothèque Nationale de France, in celebration of the reopening of the newly renovated Paris Opera, Palais Garnier, in March 1996, presented at the Bibliothèque-Musée de l'Opéra (March 13 to June 9) the exhibition Stanley Roseman - Dessins sur la Danse à l'Opéra de Paris (Drawings on the Dance at the Paris Opéra). The Roseman exhibition was sponsored by Louis Vuitton.

The Bibliothèque Nationale de France wrote that Roseman's work on the dance ''gives an answer to the challenge of expressing movement in a single pictorial image.'' Praising the artist for his ''magnificent drawings,'' the Bibliothèque Nationale de France concluded, ''Stanley Roseman's drawings show the many facets of his great talents as a draughtsman.''
