In preparation for the exhibit (July 16 - Oct. 10, 2005), scientists at the Art Institute and at Northwestern University Atomic and Nanoscale Characterization (NUANCE) Center collaborated to reveal fascinating and detailed technical art history about Lautrec’s Ballet Dancers and other masterpieces.
