Focusing on the fertile but often overlooked period preceding Abstract Expressionism, this important volume sheds new light on a crucial stage in the evolution of American abstraction. Full-color plates reproduce vibrant, dynamic works from the 1930s and '40s by Josef Albers, Willem de Kooning, Burgoyne Diller, Suzy Frelinghuysen, Alexander Calder, and more than 50 other artists. All 162 images are from the J. Donald Nichols Collection, remarkable for its exceptional breadth and diversity. Together, the images recreate the entire American abstract art scene of the '30s and '40s. Featured are works by members of the American Abstract Artists group and the Museum of Non-Objective Painting in New York, the Transcendental Painting Group in New Mexico, and the New Bauhaus school centered around Laszlo Moholy-Nagy in Chicago. "Regional Modernists" from Pennsylvania, California, the Pacific Northwest, and the deep South also provide fine examples of abstract art.

Seller's Description:
VG/VG ex-gallery with spine label and gallery stamp on title page. Black cloth, black ill. DJ. 210 pp. 162 color plates. This volume presents a partial catalog of 1930s and 1940s era abstract works that are in the art collection of J. Donald Nichols. Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. This art collection was on exhibition at the Wake Forest University Fine Arts Gallery, Winston-Salem, NC in the late 1990s. Familiar artists Willem de Kooning, Josef Albers, Arshile Gorky, and Stuart Davis are all included here. Artists in the collection are from diverse socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. Women artists are quite strongly represented in the collection, including Russian born Esphyr Slobodkina. The J. Donald Nichols Collection is now recognized as perhaps the finest collection of American abstract art of the 1930s and 1940s ever assembled. (Abstract).
