Jean Charlot, Tortillera with Child (Rest and Work), 1941. Color lithograph, 12 1⁄2 x 18 1⁄2 inches. Collection of James and Virginia Moffett, Kansas City
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 Wichita Art Museum presents two beautifully paired exhibitions, Alfred Maurer: Works on Paper from the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art Collection and American Masterpieces on Paper from the Wichita Art Museum Collection. They combine the riches of two nationally prominent American art collections—from Minneapolis and Wichita
Beginning in the early 20th century, American artists turned away from centuries-old subjects and styles, yearning to reflect their own time and unique experiences in a rapidly changing world. Renegades who championed self-expression, they ignored the rules and crafted their own freshly original art.
Those modern masters expressed themselves with greatest immediacy with works on paper, and magnificent examples of drawings, pastels, watercolors, and several prints during this chapter in art history.
Paper Dreams presents masterworks on paper from this pivotal moment in American art, with works by Alfred Maurer, Stuart Davis, John Marin, Charles Burchfield, Edward Hopper, and others.
