AN ABSTRACTED VIEW II: 100 YEARS OF NON-OBJECTIVE & ABSTRACT ART, May 4 - 27, 2023

FREDERICK HOLMES AND COMPANY - GALLERY OF MODERN & CONTEMPORARY ART - 309 Occidental Avenue South, Seattle, WA. In May's special exhibition, "AN ABSTRACTED VIEW II: 100 YEARS OF NON-OBJECTIVE & ABSTRACT ART", we integrate the various abstract paintings created by contemporary artists working in the 21st century with several of the early pioneers or practitioners of non-objective painting, the precursor to what became popularly called "abstract". In viewing several contemporary works next to paintings and prints from the early/mid 20th century, we better understand the influences, the visual vocabularies, and personal vernaculars of these earlier artists, who laid the foundations for contemporary artists to continue to build upon today. Featured Artists: John Andro Avendano (b.1952); Derek David Baron (b.1967); Rudolf Bauer (1889-1953); Jane Burton (nd); Alexander Calder (1898-1976); Jimmy Ernst (1922-1984); Elena Erickson (nd); Gary Logan (b.1970); Robert McNown (b.1944); Robert Motherwell (1915-1991); Joan Miro (1893-1983); Walter Quirt (1902-1968); Rolph Scarlett (1889-1984); Oscar Van Young (1906-1991); Elise Wagner (b.1966); James Wills (b.1949)
