ExhibitionAction/Abstraction: Pollock, de Kooning, and American Art, 1940–1976October 19, 2008 - January 11, 2009The St. Louis Art Museum, One Fine Arts Drive, Forest Park, St. Louis, MO 63110-1380, Phone: 314.721.0072, United States This exhibition proposes a fresh look at the painting and sculpture that transformed the art world in the years following World War II—a period when abstraction emerged as a dominant means of artistic expression. Key works by such artists as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt, Clyfford Still, David Smith, Helen Frankenthaler and Philip Guston represent a carefully chosen group of fifty examples from major institutions and collections throughout the U.S. and abroad. Against a background of Cold War politics, rising mass culture and growing consumerism, critic Harold Rosenberg championed the concept of action (the creative act of the artist) versus the ideal purity of a non-representational aesthetic defended by Clement Greenberg. Action/Abstraction re-examines how these critics' theories vied with each other and with the intentions of the artists—who nevertheless remained keenly aware of the critics' perspectives and were often influenced by them. |

Paul Getty Museum, 1200 Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles, California 90049, Phone: (310) 440-7300, United States Around 1575 in Bologna, the course of Italian painting was irrevocably altered by three members of the Carracci family. Their stylistic revolution influenced the subsequent development of painting in Bologna, in Italy and throughout Europe for the next two centuries. This exhibition, another in a series of collaborations with the Dresden State Museums, will be organized around 27 paintings from Dresden combined with Bolognese baroque paintings from southern California private and public collections (including nine pictures from the Getty Museum). Captured Emotions offers a remarkably complete introduction and survey of this crucial period in Italian painting from 1575-1725. |
