Sourced from the MMAA Permanent Collection, this new exhibit encompasses all forms of abstraction in painting, drawing, sculpture and printmaking. Joining these historic works are pieces by living artists from the Michiana Region who, through their studio practice, embrace formal qualities of line, shape, color, and texture. Some works, both historic and contemporary, show elements of lyrical abstraction, hard-edge painting, and expressionist tendencies.

Art by well-known names from the 20th Century include Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Motherwell, and Sam Francis. These pieces joined with works by Bill Kremer, Jake Webster, Nektaria Matheos, Liz Roetzel, Susan Henshaw, Margarita Kulys, Edwin Shelton, Jack Kapsa, Richard Keen, Douglas Witmer, and Richard Roth, prove that echoes of the past can be reintroduced into the art-making process of the 21st Century in totally new and personal ways. Over 100 works by 63 artists are displayed in this exhibition.

Curated by Director, Brian Byrn, Abstraction in America, is a dynamic visual experience that will continue on view through March 2. The exhibit is sponsored by Donors from the American Circle of support.
