An exciting two-part exhibition that explores how artists draw life into their art within two distinct periods and areas: the start of modern art in the late 19th and early 20th century in Europe; and the late 20th and early 21st century.
Then: Modern art was born in the 19th century out of a newly insistent sense that art and life must merge. This exhibition of works from local collections features artists whose lives changed the course of art as they examined the stories behind their artworks to reveal the social connections that guided Modernism’s course. Now: The contemporary section the exhibition presents an open-ended exploration of how fifty artists—both world-famous and lesser known—engage with key personal, social, and political issues of our time.
