MODERNIST PRINTS 1900-1955

Selections from the Syracuse University Art Collection
and the permanent collection of Lawrence University

OCTOBER 1- NOVEMBER 21, 1999

Wriston Art Center Galleries, Lawrence University

Modern art distinguishes itself from other periods by its ability to embrace simultaneously a variety of aesthetic philosophies and styles. This exhibition examines Modernism's eclecticism through European and American prints created in the first half of the 20th century. The images represent many of the important artists of the era: Picasso, Kandinsky, Rouault, and Miro from Europe; and Marin, Arthur B. Davies, and Milton Avery from America. The prints illustrate the diversity of modern graphic art from impressionism through abstraction to pure non-objectivist designs.
