Advancing American Art showcases diverse styles of modern art Before you jump into the debate, take a moment to familiarize yourself with some of the works included in the exhibition.
SURREALISM Most of us think of Salvador DalĂ when we hear the term Surrealism, but many artists, like Adolph Gottlieb, were interested in connecting to unconscious drives and desires. Automatic writing, or doodling without thinking, was a technique used by the artist to render universal shapes and symbols.
CUBISM Romare Bearden’s work draws influence from Cubism, a movement of art associated with Pablo Picasso and George Braque. Cubism imagines seeing all angles of an object or scene at once.
