Scope and Contents

The exhibition was curated by Maurice Tuchman and Stephanie Barron. This catalogue contains seventeen essays that provide a radical rethinking of abstraction with special attention to the pioneers of nonrepresentational art. The exhibition focuses on what the artist intended his painting to mean rather than how it looked. " By offering clues to the now-hidden meanings of abstract art, it helps make the esoteric accessible and the obscure visible, illuminating not only the art but also the spiritual beliefs that nourished it." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
