Press Release
Counterpoints: American Art 1930-1945 is a rare opportunity to view the diverse trends concurrent in American art during the Great Depression and World War II eras. Ordinarily, exhibitions focusing on American painting and sculpture from this period isolate and examine only one particular style or one specific group of artists; Counterpoints: American Art 1930-1945 will explore and emphasize the pluralist nature of the multi-dimensional art world. On view will be major examples of abstraction from the New York based American Abstract Artists Group and the Transcendental Painting Group, centered in the South West, social realism, Surrealism, and various expressions of modernism.
