Flat, pure color. Geometric forms. Hard edges and right angles. Kaleidoscope features a range of works from the Wichita Art Museum’s collection that showcase 20th-century art’s experimentation with line, color, and optical effects.
At midcentury, abstraction—which rejected the realistic depiction of people, places, and things in art—reigned supreme. Line and color, which had previously been used to realistically depict the world, took center stage as subjects in their own right. Some artists avoided any suggestion of depth or recession in space, preferring flat planes of a single color to reinforce the flatness of the painted surface. Other artists did the opposite. They deliberately manipulated color and line to create the illusion of movement and depth, sometimes subtle and sometimes dizzying.
For all the artists in the exhibition, however, it is perception—how the eye experiences color and line—that fascinates. Visit the exhibition and step into a kaleidoscope.
The exhibition pays tribute to the late Dr. Samella Lewis, a major benefactor and supporter of The Kansas African American Museum (TKAAM). Beginning in 1998, and continuing through 2006, Dr. Lewis gifted TKAAM a portion of her private collection of paintings and sculptures by leading African American artists, as well as a large collection of her own work. In 1998, these gifts formed the foundation of the permanent art collection of The Kansas African American Museum (formerly the First National Black Historical Society).
Dr. Samella S. Lewis, a nationally known artist and art historian, always advocated a strong relationship between African American artists and the Black community.
This annual exhibit is curated by the Art That Touches Your Heart Foundation in order to provide inspiration and support to African American art students. 2023 marks the third year the ATTYH exhibit has been on view at CityArts.
