The New Decade : Twenty Two European Painters and Sculptors

description

Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with shows of modern paintings and sculpture, held May 10 - August 7, 1955. Traveled to Minneapolis Institute of Arts, September 21 - October 30, 1955; Los Angeles County Museum, November 21 - January 7, 1956 and San Francisco Museum of Fine Art, February 2 - March 15, 1956. In the Foreword, Andrew Carnduff Ritchie, exhibition director, writes : "Most modern movements have been concerned with the discovery of a space that would be appropriate to our time. The color-defined space of the Fauves, the multi-planed perspective of the Cubists, the metaphysical infinities of the Surrealists -- all were spatial revolutions, countering each other and in opposition to the picture-window perspective of the Renaissance. As many of these [following artists'] statements imply, the exploration goes on." Artists include Afro, Karel Appel, Kenneth Armitage, Francis Bacon, Jean Bazaine, Alberto Burri, Reg Butler, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Lynn Chadwick, Jean Dubuffet, Etienne Hadju, Alfred Manessier, Luciano Minguzzi, Mirko [Basadella], Edouard Pignon, Germaine Richier, William Scott, Pierre Soulages, Hans Uhlmann, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Theodor Werner, and Fritz Winter. The catalogue contains artists' statements and selected bibliographies.
