  • What is Abstract Expressionism

    Abstract Expressionism, at its heart, is about freedom - freedom from rules, from representation, from the idea that art has to look like something to mean something.

  • What is Color Field?

    What if a painting didn't need a subject? In the late 1940s a group of artists stripped everything back. No brushstrokes. No drama. Just expansive areas - or fields - of color.

    This is color field explained.

  • Edward M. Bannister: The Entrusted Messenger


    John Nelson Arnold believed that Edward Bannister’s artistic legacy would endure. He observed that Bannister approached nature with a poet’s sensibility, capturing skies, rocks, trees, and distances on canvas with both vigor and poetic beauty.

    Arnold predicted that over time, Bannister would be recognized as one of the leading American painters. In a time when American painting

    lagged behind European art, Arnold couldn’t foresee the eventual rise of the uniquely American Hudson River School, which celebrated the nation’s untamed wilderness and vast landscapes. Despite witnessing the Civil War and the end of slavery and seeing his Black friend gain national recognition, Arnold couldn’t predict that persistent racial prejudice would lead to Bannister’s omission from 19th-century American landscape painting histories.
