Contents: Catalogue for the exhibition organized by the Dayton Art Institute. 'Resulting from a groundbreaking, four-venue exhibition, Theme & Improvisation features exquisite colour reproductions of works from Kandinky's abstract oeuvre as well as of works by 38 remarkable American artist - some world-renowned, others less well known (Marden Hartley, Albert Bloch, Konrad Cramer, Georgia O'Keeffe, Arthur Dove, Ilya Bolotowsky, Emil Bisttram, Ed Garman, Raymond Jonson, Agnes Pelton). Based on important new research into the art of the American avant-garde, and illustrated with many beautiful, often revelatory works of art, this book points the way to a new interpretation of the art of the first half of the 20th century.' |
